CONCLUSIONS A one-dimensional reaction-engineering model to simulate reactions in bed region of rotary kiln along with heat transfer in the transverse plane of kilns is presented. Variation of bed height within the kiln, melting and formation of coating were included in the model unlike the previously published models.
The coating formation on the rotary cement kilns walls is a critical phenomenon. The adhering material plays an essential role in the proper functioning of the entire operation. It protects the refractory lining from chemical attacks, thermal shocks and abrasion by the kiln bed, which enhances the reactor lifetime [1, 2]. However, the …

Stoppage due to clinker discharge got blocked with clinker balls.( 13-9-10) If clinker coating lumps falls and unable to come out the kiln due to ash ring formation in the cooling zone it gets soaked In the liquid and they grow .
What Causes Ring Formation in a Rotary Kiln? Ring formation is extremely common, occurring in roughly 85% of commercial rotary kilns. It is typically the result of a change in slagging temperature. The slagging temperature is the point at which the material will fuse together, allowing it to solidify.
Avoiding the formation of rings in rotary kilns is an issue of primary concern to the cement production industry. We developed a numerical combustion model that revealed that in our case study rings are typically formed in zones of maximal radiative heat transfer. This local overheating causes an overproduction of the liquid phase of the …
Development of refractory materials for the high-temperature zone of the rotary kilns used in the cement industry that is the second-largest user of refractory materials is given in the article.
