This study investigates an alternative cooling method for white cement clinkers using carbon dioxide
(CO2) instead of water, which leads to significant wastage due to its non-recyclability. The innovative
approach aims to utilize CO2 for convective cooling of clinkers at temperatures of 1400–1450 °C,
addressing the issue of water usage and preventing color contamination. This method not only offers
efficient clinker cooling but also allows for heat recovery from the CO2 used, facilitating a polygeneration
cycle for power generation and enhancing sustainability. Preliminary results show an energy efficiency
of 22.48% and an exergy efficiency of 12.72% at the optimum CO2 value, demonstrating the potential of
CO2 as an efficient and sustainable alternative cooling medium in the white cement manufacturing
industry.
