Gooaeoaij:
Lastyear 7,400,000 tons
of coal, 2,340,000 bar
rels of fuel oil, and
3,000,000,000 cubic feet
of natural gas were
burned in the manu
facture of cement in
the United States.
Each 376-pound barrel
of cement represents
an average fuel con
sumption, of 200
pounds of coal, or its
equivalent
. Fuel is one of the large
: necessary cost elements
entering into the manufac
ture of cement.
About 334 per cent of the
cost of manufacturing
cement goes for fuel
Every one knpws that coal
costs a great deal more than
before the war.
In 1921 the coal bill of the
1 cement industry totaled
: approximately $40,000,000.
Heat required in cement
making is about 3000 de
grees Fahrenheit. This is a
higher temperature than
. required in steel making,
gold smelting, or almost
any other industrial proc
ess involving heat.
This intense heat is neces
sary to fuse the limestone
and other materials into
what is known as clinker.
Grinding mills pulverize
the coal into a fine powder
before it is blown into the
kiln to be used as fuel
This grinding costs about
V $1 per ton. v
