Grinding cement requires a great deal of energy. As the fineness of the cement increases, it needs more energy to grind it. But every cement quality band has a certain fineness requirement. In one example mill, we consider the fineness and the energy consumed for eleven months for a cement mill.

drawbacks of cement pre-hydration are the risk of silo blockage and a decrease in cement performance. Known remedies to this loss of performance are either an increase of the cement fineness and corresponding specific energy consumption, the addition of costly grinding aids, or the reduction of the additives percentage in the recipe.

that were consumed in 2000 for U.S. quarrying, cement manufacturing, and concrete production. Cement manufacturing requires very high temperatures, 2,700°F (1,500°C), to initiate the reactions and phase changes necessary to form the complex mineral compounds that give cement

30% and 70% of total energy consumed in selected countries [1-8]. A notable amount of energy is used in the cement industry. Therefore, considerable attention is needed for the reduction of energy and energy-related environmental emissions, locally or globally [9-13]. It is reported that this industry consumes about 15% of total energy

Energy consumed in the quarry, drying, raw grinding, and kiln stages of the manufacturing process corresponds directly to the production of clinker. Historical survey data indicates that production of clinker, on average, accounts for 92% of a plant's total energy consumption.
