10. Cement Designing Green Plants , First Edition 2013 by SP Deolalkar. In addition to that mentioned by the author in his Handbook for Designing Cement Plants, he focuses in this book on the equipment, tools and technologies available for having a green plant. It speaks about the cements with additions, alternative fuels and the equipment used for waste heat recovery, as well as the latest technologies for reducing CO2 emissions. 11. Rotary Kilns, Transport Phenomena and Transport Processes , First Edition 2007 by Akwasi A. Boateng. Paul Watkinson gave us the best description of this book at the end of its foreword. “This book will become a benchmark for the study of the rotary kiln phenomena, for the design of new rotary kiln process, and for the modeling and analysis of existing processes. It will be an indispensable addition to the bookshelves of engineers in the cement industry”. , Fourth Edition 1983 by Labahn and Kohlhaas, This book 12. Cement E ngineer’s H andbook has a very well gained reputation and frequent ly is known just as “Labahn”. Is a very thorough handbook covering all the cement plant areas from quarry to packing plant, it explains subjects that sometimes are overlooked for example: silos, maintenance, lubrication, automation, storage, handling and feeding systems. 13. Alternative Fuels and Raw Material Handbook for the Cement and Lime Industry , First Edition 2012 by Dirk Lechtenberg and Dr. Hansjorg Diller. The Volume 1 First Part describes alternatives fuels in general, their production and utilization. Give us a lot of information, for example: the specific machinery sections for alternative fuel production, quality management, emissions effects, etc. The Second Part consists of a comprehensive list of Fact Sheets covering the most varied waste types of alternative fuels; the majority is compiled in the Volume 2. 14. Control of Portland cement Quality , First Edition 2007 by C.W. Moore. This book is an important reference for plant managers and quality control personnel.
