6 FAQs about [Clinker photovoltaic support]

Can clinker be synthesized by concentrated solar energy?

Synthesis of Portland clinker by concentrated solar energy was fortunately achieved. The reactivity of the raw mix is very sensitive to clinkerization time. Reliable surface temperature control during clinkerization was demonstrated. Controlled cooling at suitable rate is essential for attaining the desired phases.

What is Cemex's solar clinker project?

Cemex’s solar clinker project is a collaboration with cleantech company Synhelion, who developed the high-temperature solar heat technology it uses.

Is solar clinker reactivity sensitive to time of clinking process?

The reactivity of the raw mix was found to be very sensitive to the time of the clinkerization process. The short thermal cycle (<40 min) devised allowed solar clinker to be produced.

Can clinker concrete be made without fossil fuels?

Ambrosetti said that the facility will provide enough heat to produce “clinker” concrete without using fossil fuels. “Clinker is produced in a rotary kiln at temperatures nearing 1,500 C. Fossil fuels are typically used to heat the kiln and are responsible for approximately 40% of direct CO 2 emissions,” the company claims.

Does clinker quality depend on temperature?

The quality of the clinker depends mainly on the kinetics of clinkeration and cooling down conditions. Nevertheless, it is important to bear in mind that keeping a tight temperature control is crucial for assuring the quality of the clinker, thus requiring proper monitoring of temperatures and of the resulting product.

Are clinkers made in rotary kilns?

Before rotary kilns were used, clinkers were produced in batches in bottle kilns. In spite of control of raw mix chemistry based on experience with local raw materials, there were significant differences between batches.
