The microscope has become a more common tool in the cement industry. Evaluation of clinker using microscopy is a powerful technique that can help improve clinker production and cement quality. The key to using the microscopy is understanding the process of clinker production namely how raw materials are transformed into clinker. These transformations involve chemical and physical processes as the material passes through the rotary kiln. Clinker microscopy can provide information about the temperature in the kiln and provide clues to improve clinker grindability, optimize raw feed fineness or increasing 28-day strength. Regarding problems, imagine being able to help identify the causes of poor clinker grindability or low cement mortar strength.
