Application of Soft Constrained MPC to a Cement Mill Circuit. Abstract In this paper we develop a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) for regulation of a cement mill circuit. The MPC uses soft constraints (soft MPC) to robustly address the large uncertainties present in models that can be identified for cement mill circuits.

Nowadays, ball mills are used widely in cement plants to grind clinker and gypsum to produce cement. In this work, the energy and exergy analyses of a cement ball mill (CBM) were performed and some measurements were carried out in an existing CBM in a cement plant to improve the efficiency of the grinding process.

Abstract. This study focused on ultra-fine grinding of calcite powder (CaCO3) using a vertical stirred ball mill. The influences of various operating parameters such as stirrer speed (rpm), ball filling ratio (J), powder filling ratio (fc), solid ratio (wt.%) and grinding time were studied under wet conditions.

A type bond ball mill was used to grind cement material. After placing clinker, limestone, and fly ash in the mill, chemicals were added on top of the mix. Cement chemicals with grinding aid and strength enhancing properties were used in dosages of 200 and 800 g/t, respectively.

Grinding in ball mills is the most energy-intensive comminution operation; for instance, about 110 kWh of electrical energy are consumed per ton of cement produced. Around 70 % of this energy is needed to grind the raw material and the clinker, while only 1–5 % of the supplied energy is needed for the explicit particle breakage [ 3, 20 ], i ...
