Process analysis of the effective utilization of molten slag heat by direct blast furnace cement production system

This paper principally presents a process analysis of the production systems of blast furnace cement (BFC) based on exergy analysis and its carbon dioxide emission. The analysis was first carried out by using exergy balances of actual operating data in the cement industry. The results revealed tha...
