=========================================================================================================================================
Reasons for the formation of intermediate products
-Intermediate products are preferentially formed by kinetically faster reaction rates
-Intermediate products are the reaction products of localised zones in the meal charge,
i.e. local equilibrium but not overall equilibrium was reached (e.g. gehlenite formation)
-Intermediate products are really the equilibrium products at the given temperature and gas
atmosphere,
but not at the final clinkering temperature (e.g. spurrite formation)
=======================================================================================================
Liquid Phase
basically created by early melting compounds such as Fe2O3 and Al2O3 and some minor
compounds such as MgO and Alkalis
The compositi on of the raw mix determines
-temperature at which liquid will first be formed
-amount of liquid formed at any given temperature
-the physical properties of the liquid at any particular temperature, especially its viscosity
-Although most raw mixes show about the same minimum temperature of liquid formation
(eutectic point),
the quantity of liquid formed at this and progressively higher temperatures varies according tothe raw mix chemistry.
7/30/2019 Clinker Manufacture - Clinker Formation .docx
11/30
-In the Portland cement relevant parts of the system C SAF, in which melting begins at
1338 C, the composition of the liquid is:
CaO - 55 %
SiO2 - 6 % Alumina ratio
Al2O3 - 23 % (AR) = 1.38
Fe2O3 - 16 %
Quantity calculation formulae acc. to LEA, considering different temperature:
1338 oC = 6.1 Fe2O3 + MgO + Na2O + K2O if AR 1.38
8.2 Al2O35.22 Fe2O3 + MgO + Na2O + K2O if AR1.38
1400oC = 2.95 Al2O3 + 2.2 Fe2O3 + MgO + Na2O + K2O for MgO 2 %
1450 oC = 3.0 Al2O3 + 2.25 Fe2O3 + MgO + Na2O + K2O for MgO 2 %
Quanti tative change of l iqu id phase with temperatu re in several group plants (in fl uence of
MgO, Na2O and K2O included)
I nf luence of Al2O3 and Fe2O3 alone on the quanti ty of li quid formed at 1338 C.

12/30
The most effective use of A l2O3 and Fe2O3with respect to l iquid formation at 1338 C
occur s when the two are used in the weight ratio of 1.38
Viscosity of l iquid phase
-The viscosity of the liquid phase diminishes exponentially with increasing temperature and at
1400 C is reduced by addition of fluxing components in the following order:
Na2O < CaO < MgO < Fe2O3 < MnO
-With increasing SiO2 content of the melt and to a lesser extent with increasing Al2O3,
appreciable increases in viscosity occur.

Decomposition reaction: Equilibrium dissociation pressure of calcite and spurrite with
temperature
Decomposition reaction: Decomposition of C3S at 1175 C
In the case of impure C3S, i.e. clinker alite, the rate of decomposition is appreciablyaccelerated by:
the presence of lime and C2S nuclei the presence of Fe2+ , H2O and K2SO4 / CaSO4 melts
7/30/2019 Clinker Manufacture - Clinker Formation .docx
18/30
Combination reaction: Formation of Belite
Belite formation is the result of a combination between the calcite and silica components of
the raw mix.
The rate limiting mechanism by which belite is formed (after an initial phase boundary
controlled reaction) depends on the diffusion of ions through the solid state.
The rate of this reaction is thus dependent on:
the path distance that the diffusing species have to travel
defects in the reactants crystal lattices.
Combination reaction: Formation of Alite
Formation of alite only at T > 1250 C (lower stability limit). At that temperature, the liquid
phase is also starting to form: The formation of alite is a liquidsolid reaction

The formation of alite and its stabilisation depends on the presence of the liquid phase.
The rate of reaction is dependent on:
the path distance that the diffusing species have to travel
quantity and viscosity of liquid phase

4. Kinetics of Clinker Burning
Theoretical consequences:
Rate increases with higher temperature (but also costs!)
Rate decreases with higher activation energy (different raw mix mineralogy)
Rate increases with higher frequency factor (larger contact surface, i.e. finer mix)
The rate of reaction
mailto:honestgroupcoltd@gmail.commailto:honestgroupcoltd@gmail.commailto:honestgroupcoltd@gmail.com7/30/2019 Clinker Manufacture - Clinker Formation .docx
20/30
increases with temperature and contact surface between raw mix components(frequency factor A)
decreases with higher activation energy Ea for raw mix components.To compensate for the slow reactivity of the less reactive minerals, a higher burning
temperature and / or longer burning period (longer clinkering zone) is required.
Practical considerations:
development of suspension preheater
In practice, the most convenient method of following the reaction is by measuring therate of decrease of non-combined lime (i.e. free lime).
This technique is illustrated in the following figures that show two raw mixes, I and II,ofidentical chemistry (LS = 95, SR = 3.2 and AR = 2.2) and similar fineness (R200m
= 0.5 %, R90m = 7 % and R60m = 15 %).
It is evident that the difference in mineralogy and actual particle size of theindividual crystals influence both the mechanism and rate of reaction, especially at
start of the clinker formation.

===========
Assessment of Raw Meal Burnabi li ty
In practice, simple methods are mostly applied to asses the burnability of a mix, i.e. the ease
of formation of the clinker minerals. Three distinct methods are practiced at HGRS:
Statistical burning modelin which ten material parameters influence the rate of clinker
formation. The non-combined CaO value, of any raw mix, relative to that of a standard raw
mix is calculated.
Physicochemical burning modelrequires no standard raw mix. Only 4 parameters need to be
considered.
===================================================================
===================================================================
===========
Statistical Burnability Model
Quantitative evaluation of the data obtained by the Mark burnability testo The 1350, 1400 and 1450 free lime values of other raw mixes from the same
raw material components can be determined based on one single burnability
test of one mix
7/30/2019 Clinker Manufacture - Clinker Formation .docx
24/30
o Chemical Parameters: lime saturation, silica ratio, alumina ratio, K2O +Na2O, MgO
o Physical Parameters: residue on 200 m and 90 m sieves, quantity of mica,quartz and iron minerals
NOTE : The burnability model can be used as an instrument for optimization of raw mixes
===================================================================
===================================================================
==============
Physiochemical Burnability Model
the amount of uncombined lime depends ono Specific reaction area (area of contact between grains)o Local oversaturation (grain size of individual minerals)o Ambient conditions (pressure, temperature, burning time)o Diffusion coefficient of CaO through the liquid phase (composition of the
liquid phase)
o Amount of liquid phase formed during burningo Supply and demand of CaO
all these influencing factors may be incorporated in four parameters: SR, LS, amountof oversized quartz grains, amount of oversized calcite grains.
(Pressure, temperature and burning time are considered to be constant.)
Silica ratio (SR) and lime saturation (LS) The formation of C3S from C2S and CaO is governed by the diffusion of CaO through
the melt. The silica modules and lime saturation are sufficient to describe this
chemical reaction quantitatively.
The amount of CaO which can be accommodated within the liquid phase and in whichit can diffuse and thus react, is inversely proportional to the silica ratio. A linear
relationship exists between max. lime saturation and silica ratio values at which no
free lime can be observed.
Quartz and calcite grains Whether a grain of material reacts fully under given burning conditions depends on its
diameter, structure and chemical composition.
Too large calcite grains result in CaO not being completely combined as also resultsfrom grains whose lime saturation is over 100 %.
For the Holderbank burnability test conditions the following grain diameters werefound to be critical limits:
o quartz 32 mcalcite 90 m
