The residue specification for raw meal exists because too coarse a meal

  • A.will not react completely during burning in the kiln
  • B.cannot be conveyed through the plant air slides at all
  • C.makes the finished cement set very much too quickly
  • D.prevents the blending silo from ever being filled up

Answer: A

Correct answer: will not react completely during burning in the kiln

The reactions in the burning zone are between solid particles and depend on diffusion over the distance a particle spans, so a coarse grain of silica cannot combine fully in the time available. The result is uncombined lime in the clinker, and the residue specification exists to keep the coarse fraction small enough to react.
