Improvements of return water supply for the preparation of cement slurry

The improved return water supply arrangement for the preparation of slurry at the cement plant of the Polar Division of OAO MMC Norilsk Nickel (CP PD, OAO MMC Norilsk Nickel) is reviewed. As a result, the wastewater discharge was reduced.

An alternative solution for cement grinding and packing

A mobile unit for grinding and packaging of cement developed and manufactured by Cemengal, Spain is described. The unit is housed in transport containers, is easy to install and makes it possible to produce more than 90 tonnes of ordinary Portland cement and 60 tonnes o...

Evolutionary development of performance management

It is shown that the traditional approach to the implementation of MES/MOM projects consisting in the use of a complete, integrated MES/MOM solution often leads to unsatisfactory results not meeting the customer’s expectations. An alternative evolutionary approach, whic...

Approaches to the intelligent decision support and control system for a rotary cement clinker kiln

The principles for an advisor system based on generalized classical and fuzzy methods, using in addition the information obtained from the machine vision system, are described. With regard to the expert opinion, the most critical parts of the kiln were identified, where...

Comparative results of the identification of clinker phase composition and microstructure by methods of physico-chemical analysis

The aim of the research was to compare the results of the identification of phase composition of clinkers by different methods and evaluation of the accuracy of measurements characterizing the content of different phases. It is shown that there may be significant differ...

Breakthrough in clinker grinding

Fundamental research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSH) is taking a closer look at the theoretical power required for particle size reduction on the micro scale. This work has the potential to greatly r...

Innovations in cement-based nanostructured materials

The article provides an overview of recent innovations in the field of nanostructured mineral binders with improved performance as compared to the traditional products, and offering a possibility to reduce the consumption of resources and energy throughout the entire li...

Additional fuel for the cement industry from municipal solid was

The potential of municipal solid waste (MSW) recycling into fuel for the cement industry is discussed. A process flow design for production of such fuels, developed by research and production corporation Mechanobr-Tekhnika (SPC Mechanobr-Tekhnika) is des...

30 years high quality fly ash in South Africa

The fly ash industry in South Africa can look back at a long and successful history. This paper describes the beginning and the growth based on proper research and sound fly ash marketing. South African fly ash properties and the pozzolanic reaction are described. The c...

Use of waste glass as partial substitute for cement in sand-cement mortars

This study looked at the properties of concrete incorporating waste glass as partial substitution for Portland cement content. The waste glass material used was obtained solely from green glass cullet ground to similar fineness as the cement. The results show clearly th...
