    High VM Coal With 3% Sulphur

    Uploaded by

    Irshad Hussain
    This document analyzes the use of a high volatile matter (VM) coal with 3% sulfur mixed with South African coal in a cement production process. It provides specifications for the coals, calculates nitrogen calorific values (NCV) and sulfur levels in the clinker at different mixing rates. The summary warns that mixing more than 5% high VM coal risks increasing sulfur in the clinker beyond acceptable levels, which could negatively impact grindability, strength, refractory lifespan and kiln corrosion.

    Problems relating use of High VM Coal


    * High sulphur may result in an increased build up in cyclones, riser duct and smoke chamber
    * This is theoratical calculation as per current condition,If so3 in clinker will not increase than high VM Coal mixing will not be possible from more than 5%
    * Also the higher contents of SO3 in the clinker results in poor grindability and in lower strength of Cement.
    * The refractory service life may decrease
    * The internal Kiln shell corrosion rate may become faster.
