Co-utilisation of coal and other fuels in cement kilns
Coal is still the most widely used primary fuel for cement kilns but natural gas, oil, and petroleum cokes are also fired in many countries. Secondary or alternative fuels such as scrap tyres, hazardous waste-derived fuels, plastics and various biomass fuels have been cofired with coal in cement kilns for many years. This lowers the production ...
Burning alternative fuels in cement kilns
1 Suitability of cement kilns for the combustion of secondary fuels. Compared to other high energy-intensive production processes of cement clinker burning process allows a relatively high potential to use secondary fuels [1].This is due to the robustness of the clinker burning process and in its principal layout as a countercurrent process.
