Abstract

A method is provided for manufacturing cement from a raw material mixture which includes finely ground steel slag. Selected quantities of steel slag and other raw materials are mixed with each other and supplied to a raw mill. The steel slag and other raw materials are preferably ground to a fine, dry powder. For some applications, the dry powder is preferably supplied to a blend tank for further mixing to ensure more uniform commingling of the finely ground steel slag with other finely ground raw materials. The fine dry powder may be supplied to a preheat system and then to the feed end of a kiln. Alternatively, the dry powder may be supplied directly to the feed end of a kiln.
