Ted Krapkat Firstly, you have to analyse all of your kiln inputs to determine the individual contributions of MgO to the process. Start with the raw materials, because it is more likely that the highest MgO input is from the raw meal rather than the fuel(s)... usually dolomitic limestone is the culprit. If the source of the high MgO is the limestone, you only have a couple of options;1. Selectively mine and blend the limestone in your deposit so as to minimise MgO. 2. Locate an alternative source of limestone with lower MgO. Option 1. is probably the most practical alternative. If the source of the high MgO is an AFR, you will have to evaluate the cost impact of reducing (or stopping) the use of this AFR compared to the cost of having high MgO in your cement.

JoostUnfollow Follow Joost Joost Oostra As said above, MgO usually comes with the limestone and there is no easy way to reduce it in operation. This leads me to ask two questions to the group: 1. It is known that MgO is incorporated in the clinker phases up to about 1.5% to 2%. So the excess MgO (above 2%) stays as free MgO (periclase) which is expansive. Does any of the experts know of a way to incorporate more MgO in the clinker phases, perhaps by using a mineralizer, a different temperature profile in the kiln, rapid quenching or some other trick? 2. If you produce blended cement (clinker with limestone) you could theoretically select the limestone at the quarry, reserve the low MgO material for clinker production, and use the high MgO material for cement blending (because MgCO3 is not expansive). Does anybody have experience with blended cements made with high MgO limestones? Any comments about if this is possible, or is it dangerous? 5 hours ago Unlike Like

TedUnfollow Follow Ted Ted Krapkat Hello Joost, To answer your first question;Usually up to ~5% MgO can be tolerated in OPC cement if the following mitigating factors can be achieved;(a) Size of the MgO-containing particles in the raw meal are minimised by control over raw meal fineness and homogenisation. (b) High sintering temperature (>1400C) so as to dissolve as much MgO as possible in the liquid phase and to reduce the reactivity of undissolved MgO. (c) Rapid cooling of the clinker to form small crystals of alite, belite and MgO. Small crystals allow faster hydration of clinker minerals to better accomodate the hydration of the periclase. (d) Low aluminate/high ferrite clinker incorporates more MgO into the clinker phases, because ferrite can contain up to 3% MgO while aluminate only 1.5% while alite and belite only 0,5-1,5%. (e) Use of a mineraliser such as fluoride effectively reduces the size of the periclase particles remaining in the clinker.

Even higher MgO contents (8-10%) can be tolerated in PPC and slag cements. Regarding your second question, I would agree that there should not be any issue with using high MgO limestone filler in blended cements. But there could be problems with meeting cement standards that limit cement MgO content, since they usually don't specifiy the form that the MgO takes.

Coal Cost and Blends Calculator

As all experts know that its the fuel cost which is the biggest in cement production ,hence the best way to control it is the ideal technical and economical evaluation of coal sources / blends . To evaluate different coal offers from technical as well as cost dynamics point of view ,developed excel software by the name of coal cost & blend calculator which calculates detail proximate analysis (IM,ADL,TM,Ash,(S--ultimate),VM,FC,GCV,NCV) of coal blends at any ratio of local with imported coal combinations (indonesian as well as south african) & also calculates Rs / K Cal (NCV,ARB Basis) of the blend . For all those desirous / interested to get it ,please leave your email and i will email it to you on Monday 04.03.2013 2 days ago
