The technology was installed in 2020 in all cement plants in Europe. In 2021, CEMEX will roll this out to substantially all its global operations. With this new technology, hydrogen enhances the cement kiln's combustion process, adding another relevant tool in the company's 2030 roadmap to reduce CO 2 emissions in the short term.
Cement Kilns: Firing systems
Direct firing uses a fuel mill swept by the primary air, which then immediately conveys the fuel into the kiln without any intermediate storage of the finely ground fuel. Thus, with …
The cement kiln
In the diagram above of a precalciner kiln, raw meal passes down the preheater tower while hot gases rise up, heating the raw meal. At 'A,' the raw meal largely decarbonates; at 'B,' the temperature is 1000 C - 1200 C and intermediate compounds are forming and at 'C,' the burning zone, clinker nodules and the final clinker minerals form.
Tyres as an alternative fuel in cement kilns
End-of-life t y res are a challenging type of waste since they are difficult to shred and are expensive to treat and get rid of. However, ty re derived fuel TDF is an extremely good alternative to the traditional fuels used in cement kilns, like oil, coal, and petroleum coke. The following blog presents a solution and explains how TDF can be used for heating …
