Assingment
Cement dust is characterized by very fine particulate. The
exhaust gas temp from a cement kiln are very hot. Which of the
following control devices would appear to be appropriate?
Explain the reasoning for your selection.
◦ Venturi chamber
◦ Baghouse filter
◦ Electrostatic precipitation

In the process cement kilns burner

(https://www.cementkilns.co.uk/kiln_design.html)
Material is feed into kiln from kiln tail. Due to the slope and
rotation of the cylinder, the material make a composite motion it
rolls in circumferential direction . After pre heater process, The
grinded raw material moves from the top of the cyclone to the
bottom Cyclone, a higher temperature of about 1,000oC. And
then transferred to a rotary kiln. The temperature in the burner
is about 1,450 oC. The hot air excess form the process have
temperature is 200-400 oC.
 As the hot air moves out of the kiln, it carries with the
small particles of the raw mix such as volatilized inorganic
substances such as alkalis (sodium and potassium) and
chlorides. As the gas cools, the volatiles condense back to the
small particles, and the resulting powder is called cement kiln
dust (CKD).

I should Electrostatic precipitation (ESP) to particulate

collection from the air. Because air from cement kilns burner
have characteristic is high temperatures up to 300 oC . ESP can
be handle high temperatures, up to700°C . Although, Venturi
scrubber can handle gas streams that contain high
temperature However, due to the process of using water, it is
need to treat wastewater before releasing it into the
environment and the waste is wet so it can not be recycled.
Cement kiln dust (CKD) from Electrostatic precipitation can
recycled back into the cement kiln as raw feed. Recycling this
by-product back into the kiln not only reduces the amount of
CKD to be manage outside the kiln, it also reduces the need for
limestone and other raw materials, which saves natural
resources. The use of Baghouse filter device is not appropriate
because can not handle high temperature gas or air. So choose
Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) to particulate collection from the
air is the most suitable.
