2.5. Main alternative fuels used in the cement industry. Well-established technology, on the one hand, allows the rotary kiln of any cement plant to be fired with low-volatile fuels such as petcoke, low-volatile bituminous coal, and anthracite, without problem (Nielsen et al., 1986). On the other hand, high volatile-low calorific value ...
Silica: Silicon dioxide is known as silica, chemical formula SiO 2.. A sufficient quantity of silica should be present in cement to dicalcium and tricalcium silicate. Silica imparts strength to cement. Silica usually presents to the extent of about 30 percent cement.. Alumina: Alumina is Aluminium oxide.The chemical formula is Al 2 O 3.. Alumina imparts …
Li et al. [17] studied the characteristics of CGCS and CGFS with cement or lime and found that CGCS could better react with cement or lime to form a dense structure, which was conducive to the development of compressive strength. Meanwhile, the structure of CGFS mixtures was so loose that Li et al. did not carry out further compressive …
