Cement manufacturing is an energy intensive process due to the high temperatures required in the kilns for clinkerization The use of alternative fuels to replace conventional fuels in particular coal is a widespread practice and can contribute to improving the global warming impact and total environmental footprint of the cement industry
A Cement plant requires a consistent supply of both Cement kiln grade G1 G8 coal and CPP grade coal G9 G12 for manufacturing cement In a scenario wherein the materialisation of coal rakes is not balanced the current policies do not allow for coal procured in an auction process for a cement kiln to be diverted to the CPP and vice versa
Use of low grade alternative fuels such as waste coal tyres sewage sludge and biomass fuels such as wood products agricultural waste etc in pre calciners is a feasible option since combustion in pre calciner takes place at a lower temperature India is the second largest cement producer in the world and accounted for over 8 per cent […]
In this study coal ash waste was used as a Portland cement replacement by 10% and 20% for the production concrete mix concrete mix with 28 day design strength of 45 N/mm ²
Cement production is ideal for the uptake of waste such as tyres sludge sawdust and other types of waste The European cement industry has steadily increased its use of alternative fuels a sevenfold increase since 1990 to over 7 million tonnes in 2010 Together with energy recovery the fuel ashes are entirely used as raw material in cement

2 Alternative fuel options for the cement industry Coal is the primary fuel burned in cement kiln s however the use alternative fuels in cement kilns is now common and increasi ng The range of alternative fu els is extremely wide They are usually available as gas liquid and solid as shown in Table 1
Although coal is cheaper compared to fuel oil and supposed to contribute a share of fuel used in cement industries the industries are moving towards the use of alternative and conventional fuels
Coal Moisture The degree of drying and therefore the required mill outlet temperature from 65 80 0 C will depend upon the type of coal ground Some residual moisture in fine coal is recommended Graph below to minimize the potential of spontaneous ignition of fine coal which will again vary for different coal types as below
Cement industries are using fossil fuels for energy purposes Among all these fuels coal serves as the primary fuel source for cement kilns Kumar and Kumar 2018 The combustion of coal results in higher number of emissions compared to other fossil fuels Kåberger 2018 Therefore with the increase in cement demand the overall emissions
A wide range of alternative fuel sources can be used in cement industries Cement rotary kiln is able to burn a wide range of materials due to the long residence times at high temperatures intrinsic ability of clinker to absorb and lock contaminants such as heavy metals into the clinker and the alkaline environment of the kiln
The cement industry is an important basic raw material industry and also an industry with high energy consumption andhigh carbon emissions China has abundant biomass resources As alternative fuel the application of biomass in the cement industry
The cement industry in Egypt has witnessed a steady growth since 1927 after the establishment of the Tora Portland Cement Company [] The cement industry in Egypt ranks twelfth in the world in terms of economic and vital strength that supports the construction sector which represents about 5% of GDP for Egypt [] and represents one of the most important global strategic industrial
Coal is formed mainly by geological processes It is a type of fossil fuel created from the remains of dead plants many years ago It has been classified as a nonrenewable energy source Some of the popular industries which make use of coal are the cement industry paper and aluminium industry chemical and pharma industry amongst others
properties of fly ash depend on the type of coal used combustion methodology adopted and t emperature In India utilization of fly ash by cement industry amounts to around
The Cement Industry is the largest consumer of fly ash in the Country With the cement companies in India gradually transitioning to greener alternatives such as Pozzolana Portland Cement PPC and Pozzolana Slag Cement PSC Between 1996 and 2017 the share of PPC in cement production in India has increased from 19% to 65% 2
products coal ash and fly ash are preferred in this report but the terms adopted in the information cited are also retained Coal combustion products is the term favoured both by the American Coal Ash Association ACAA and the European Coal Combustion Products Association ECOBA because the products are actually manufactured to meet certain
A wide range of alternative fuel sources can be used in cement industries Cement rotary kiln is able to burn a wide range of materials due to the long residence times at high temperatures intrinsic ability of clinker to absorb and lock contaminants such as heavy metals into the clinker and the alkaline environment of the kiln
There are many types of coal mill fans and the most common types are the axial flow fan and the centrifugal fan Application Used in the cement industry s environmental control systems to reduce air emissions Cooler Vent Fan Cement manufacturers use a large number of cooling fans to cool the clinker from 1500 degrees Celsius to 100
