Nitrogen oxides are formed in a cement kiln chiefly

  • A.in the preheater cyclones at the top of the tower
  • B.in the clinker cooler as the air is being heated
  • C.in the raw mill during the grinding operation
  • D.at the high temperatures of the main flame

Answer: D

Correct answer: at the high temperatures of the main flame

Thermal nitrogen oxide forms from nitrogen and oxygen in the combustion air, and the rate rises very steeply with temperature - so nearly all of it is produced in the hottest part of the main flame. The calciner, running some 600 degrees cooler, produces far less, which is one of the arguments for burning more fuel there.
