Circulation phenomena during clinker burning. Part I

Circulation of volatile elements and compounds can lead to a failure of the clinker burning process. In the first part of this article, the causes for the circulation of chlorine, sulfur trioxide and alkaline oxides within the kiln system are considered. A systematic approach to the study of the role of the fuel, raw materials and burning process in the occurrence of circulation in a specific kiln furnace system is proposed.
