Calculation for CO2 released during calcination

CaO in Kiln feed 43.8

Then CaCO3 in Kiln feed 78.21 (43.8/0.56) Mol.wt
CO2 released from CaCO3 34.41 (78.21*0.44) CaO 56
MgO 40
MgO in Kiln feed 0.87 Al2O3 102
then MgCO3 in kiln feed 1.827 SiO2 60
CO2 released from MgCO3 0.957 Fe2O3 160

Total CO2 released from Kiln feed 35.37 % by wt.

Density of CO2 1.964 Kg/Nm3

then Volume of CO2 released 18.01 % vol.

Calulation of moisture % in Kiln exit gas

Moistur% in Kiln exit gas = Moisture% in KF + Moisture% in Fuel (Coal)

Moisture % in KF = Kiln feed moisture% x KF: Clinker conversion factor

= 0.00448 Kg
= 0.006 Nm3
