Cement Manufacturing Process Civil Engineering
Chemical Reactions during Cement Manufacturing Process. The reactions that take place (after evaporation of free water) between the reactants in the kiln phase of cement making process are as follows: Clay Decomposition: Si 2 Al 2 O 5 (OH) 2 2 SiO 2 + Al 2 O 3 + 2 H 2 O (vapor) KAlSi3O8 (orthoclase) + SO 2 + O 2 3 SiO 2 + Al 2 O 3 + K 2 SO 4
