Coal Ash is Usually Part of the Raw Materials


In coal-fired kiln, the ash from the combustion of
coal must be considered!

It affects the chemistry!

For example:
If a kiln fires 25 tons/hour of coal having an ash
content of 17%, what is the rate of ash entering
the kiln?

25 TPH * 17% = _________
