Hi Yogesh,

There are no instant answers on the Internet. The word 'engineer' means inventors of ingeneous mechanisms. It takes creative thought, and that is not easy to teach.

This is a bulk product handling Forum. Most people won't even know what you are talking about.

As I understand it clinker is a substance made in a kiln, and reground to make portland cement. Let us reason together for a bit.

1 - GIGO - Garbage in - garbage out. What are the dominant qualities of the raw products going into your kiln?

2 - What are the temperatures involved? Some products of combustion change from solid to liquid to gas. Some change their chemistry.

3 - My McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Engineering 2nd Edition, does not even list Portland, or cement for that matter [what a waste of $39.95 AUD].

4 - The World Book Dictionery says that Portland Cement is a cement of burned limestone and clay ground to a fine powder, used in making mortar and concrete [from the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England]. Do you use limestone, or sea shells as your raw product? What type of clay?

5 - How do you fire it? Coal? Gas? Oil?

There is an old saying - put your mind in gear, before putting mouth in motion [it's not as easy as some may think].
