The cement sub-sector consumes approximately 12-15% of total industrial energy use. Therefore, a state of art review on the energy use and savings is necessary to identify energy wastage so that necessary measures could be implemented to reduce energy consumption in this sub-sector. In this...

Grate coolers are widely used in cement industries to recover heat from hot clinker, coming out from the rotary kiln. This study focuses on improving the energy, exergy and recovery efficiencies of a grate cooling system through the optimization of its operational parameters such as masses of...

Due the advances in the industrial processes, in which the cement industry is a major contributor, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission has increased significantly. This paper reviews previous studies on energy saving, carbon dioxide emission reductions and the various technologies...
