A clinker has a lime saturation factor of 98 and free lime of 2.5 per cent. If a target free lime of 1 per cent is wanted, the most likely first correction is to

  • A.lower the lime saturation factor
  • B.raise the lime saturation factor further
  • C.increase the gypsum addition
  • D.grind the finished cement more coarsely

Answer: A

A high factor means more lime than the silica can combine with, so the excess remains free. Lowering it brings the two into balance, though better burning or a finer meal could also help. Raw mix, meal fineness and burning are all levers on the same figure.
