Abstract

An active Belite cement clinker is sintered at 1350 DEG C-1450 DEG C and is cooled in two stages, with rapid cooling (quenching) e.g. in a fluidised bed being obtainable at the first stage and/or any necessary minimisation of the particle size to </= 10 mm diameter by impact pulverisation with simultaneous cooling and/or adjustment of the silicate module and/or alumina module, and subsequent cooling taking place at the second stage with normal cooling gradients. Preferably the high cooling gradient stage occurs within the range 1350 DEG C-1250 DEG C as the upper limit and 1000 DEG C-800 DEG C as the lower limit.

Description

SPECIFICATION Method and apparatus for manufacturing cement of the Belite type The invention relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing cement of the Belite type, particularly the manufacture and cooling of the cement clinker.
It is known to manufacture active Belite cement. Appropriate methods of doing so are described inter alia in DD-WP 1 38 197, DD-WP 139 938, and DD-WP 142 704.
In each case the purpose of the invention is to reach the cooling gradient > 500 K/min within a certain region and/or to provide conditions for reducing the cooling gradients.
This particularly includes obtaining clinker with a particle size < 10 mm, e.g. by supplying all the burnt clinker or only the over-sized particles thereof to a pulverising process for putting it to other use.
It has also already been proposed that rapid cooling should take place in an eddy channel cooler. For this purpose, however, it is necessary for the clinker to be simultaneously graded by multiple division of the air supply.
Another solution proposed is for ground-in materials at a substantially lower temperature to be added to the hot stream of clinker, and for the entire stream of material to be fed to a second cooling stage.
Another solution is to work with cooling gradients < 500 K/min when the silicate module is raised from 2 towards 4.
It has further been proposed to increase the early strength of the active Belite cement by having an optimum content of non sulfatebonded alkalis in the Belite clinker.
The early strength of active Belite cement can also be increased by grinding in EGR dust, raw meal, limestone and the like, and the process can be made altogether more economic.
The high cooling gradients can further be obtained industrially in a fall shaft cooler, the clinker being fractionated by a transverse air stream and the individual clinker fractions blown at according to their average particle diameter. The disadvantage is the need to have highly accurate blowing conditions in order to achieve long enough residence times in the fall shaft.
It is known from DE-OS 26 32 691 and DE-OS 26 38 708 to add a marl material in the cooling region of a combustion installation (cooling zone in the furnace outlet, transitional area between furnace and cooler or in cooler), the marl material being burnt by the heat of the clinker and thereby itself taking on hydraulic properties.
The disadvantage of the above-mentioned solutions is the presupposition that the rapid cooling process is achieved only with small enough clinker particles.
As a means of removing this defect, hot pulverising of the clinker has been proposed, beginning at ~ 1 300 C, with simultaneous rapid cooling in an impact cooler. According to the invention the primary clinker particles size plays no part in the actual rapid cooling.
The disadvantage ;s the extremely high strain on the material through heat and attrition.
The invention aims to manufacture an active Belite clinker where development of strength, particularly the early strength of the active Belite cement, comes close to Portland cement and/or exceeds the late strength.
The problem underlying the invention is, through new solutions in combination with known or already proposed detailed solutions, to reduce the cooling gradient necessary for the quenching region by the effect of materials, and simultaneously to produce favourable conditions, particularly in respect of particle size, for obtaining high cooling gradients and for the ensuing size reduction of the clinker.
According to the present invention there is provided a method of manufacturing cement of the Belite type with a lime standard for the raw meal of 75 to 85 and a heating gradient corresponding to Portland cement production, in which the cement clinker is sintered at a temperature between 1 350 C and 1 450 C and cooled in stages with a high cooling gradient, preferably within the range between 1 350 C to 1 250 C as the upper limit and 1 000 C to 800"C as the lower limit, the cooling taking place in two stages, with rapid cooling e.g. in a fluidised bed being obtainable at the first stage, and/or any necessary minimisation of the particle size to ' 10 mm diameter by impact pulverisation with simultaneous cooling and/or adjustment of the silicate module and/or alumina module, and subsequent cooling taking place at the second stage with normal cooling gradients.
Cooling in the first stage (rapid cooling) may take place e.g. in a fluidised bed. A revolving tubular cooler may e.g. be used to cooling in the second stage.
Minimisation of the particle size to ' 10 mm is also obtained. For this purpose either the silicate module of approximately 2.0 to 2.5 in the raw material is increased towards 4.0 and preferably 3.0 and/or the alumina module is reduced to ~ 1. The independently formed coarse particles are separated from the clinker stream, reduced in size and fed to a further part of the process.
The process is further characterised, in that ground-in materials at substantially lower temperatures and in an appropriate particle fraction are fed into the hot clinker stream before or in the first cooling stage, e.g. in the fluidised bed.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of an example, with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which the single figure illustrates diagrammatically the individual assemblies for carrying out the process according to the present invention.
The burnt Belite clinker is fed from a revolving tubular furnace 1 at a temperature of over 1 300 C to an eddy channel cooler 2. The cooler 2 has air acting on it from below. In the cooler 2 the Belite clinker is cooled within the temperature range between 1 350'C to 1 250 C as the upper limit and 1 000 C to 800'C as the lower limit, with a cooling gradient 500.
The clinker is preferably fed into the cooler 2 with a particle size of less than 10 mm.
After this the clinker is cooled at normal cooling gradients. The cooling assembly used is particularly a revolving tubular cooler 5 or the like.
When part of the clinker has a particle 1 10 mm this is separate from the clinker stream. For this purpose the clinker is sent to a separating member 3, from which the fine particles are sent to the eddy channel cooler 2 and the coarse ones to an impact pulveriser 4.
According to the cooling effect in the impact pulveriser 4, to which cooling air is also supplied, the pulverised clinker is sent either to the eddy channel cooler 2 or direct to the second cooling stage, the revolving tubular cooler 5. The cooling air supplied to the cooler 5 is fresh air. Of the waste air from the cooler 5, part is sent through a waste air pipe to the eddy channel cooler 2 and/or via a waste air pipe 6 to the impact pulveriser 4. At the same time the requisite amount of fresh air is similarly fed to both assemblies through pipes 8 and 9. Some or all of the waste air from the first cooling stage is passed into the sintering stage, the revolving tubular furnace 1, bypassing the rapid cooling stage.
An important feature of the invention is also to minimise the proportion of clinker with a diameter 8 10 mm without mechanical size reduction, through the effect of materials.
It is already known that raising the silicate module from 2.0 to 2.5 in the direction preferably of 3, 4 helps to increase early strength and to lower the cooling gradient necessary for Belite clinker. However, it has been found unexpectedly that, with the same silicate module and the lime standard values typical for active Belite cement, a lowering of the alumina module to ~ 1 has a positive effect on the early strength of the cement and reduces the cooling gradient, while at the same time leading to the formation of smaller clinker particles than are known from Portland cement.
Given a Belite raw meal with the modules lime standard 80, silicate module 2.8 and allumina module 0.75 and with a sintering temperature of 1 350 C, the proportion of clinker particles larger than 10 mm will be less than 10%. The further embodiment of the method provides that, if ground-in materials (Zumahlstoffe) are added at substantially lower temperatures at the first cooling stage and/or in the region of the impact pulversation, and if quite cold air is supplied, the necessary cooling gradient will be obtained. The nett effect of self-pulverising of the granules, achieved by cooling at high cooling gradients, is advantageous.
This applies to the size of the granules during the further cooling process and also to the improvement in the subsequent transporting and grinding of the clinker.
In the drawing the path of the material is indicated by continuous lines and that of the air by broken lines.
