Abstract
In order to create a process for the economical production of cement clinker in a cement clinker production line with a raw meal preheater, a precalcination stage, a rotary tubular kiln and a clinker cooler, in which the total oxygen excess required for all firing points, i.e., the ratio of total oxygen to total fuel, also designated as &lgr; value, is to lie as low as possible, it is proposed according to the invention, to continuously measure the content of CO and/or (unburned) hydrocarbons and/or other combustion products in the exhaust gas path of the precalcination stage and, in dependence on this measurement value, to perform a regulating intervention on the amount of an oxidation agent and/or catalyst to be injected into the precalcination stage.
