The dry process has displaced the wet process in cement manufacture because it avoids

  • A.cooling the clinker after firing
  • B.the use of a rotary kiln altogether
  • C.evaporating water from the kiln feed
  • D.grinding the raw materials before firing

Answer: C

Correct answer: evaporating water from the kiln feed

The wet process feeds the kiln a slurry of thirty per cent or more water, and every tonne of that water must be evaporated using fuel before any calcination begins. The dry process grinds and blends the raw materials dry, so the heat goes into the chemistry rather than into boiling water, and the fuel per tonne of clinker falls by roughly a third.
