The wet process of cement manufacturing refers to grinding raw material into slurry after mixing with water and then feeding them into the wet process kiln for drying and calcination and finally forming clinker. The slurry's water content is usually between 32%-36%.
In the wet process kiln the raw meal is moved in a slurry form which is a semiliquid state, typically from particles of the cement in water. In the article "Manufacturing – the cement kiln" it explains how the raw meal passes through a rotary kiln which, "…is a long cylinder rotating about its axis once every minute or two.
The cement industry in India is going through a technological change as many up gradations and Assimilation is taking place. Almost 93% of the total capacity is based entirely on the modern dry process, which is considered more environment-friendly. Only the rest, 7%, uses old wet and semi-dry process technology.
Industry-wide advancements in the 1980s helped lower energy emissions by shifting from burning wet raw material to dried raw material. Today, advanced analytics can process data and create adaptive, self-learning models. Such investments are typically recouped within one to two years. Alternative fuels.
Five different processes are used in the portland cement industry to accomplish the pyroprocessing step: the wet process, the dry process (long dry process), the semidry process, the dry process with a preheater, and the dry process with a preheater/precalciner. Each of these processes accomplishes the physical/chemical steps defined above.

Basic principle of a wet-process kiln. Wet process kilns The original rotary cement kilns were called 'wet process' kilns. In their basic form they were relatively simple compared with modern developments. The raw meal was supplied at ambient temperature in the form of a slurry. A wet process kiln may be up to 200m long and 6m in diameter.

In cement manufacturing, conditions favorable for formation of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) are reached routinely because of high process temperatures. Essentially all NO x emissions associated with cement manufacturing are generated in cement kilns. In cement kilns, NO x emissions are formed during fuel combustion by two primary mechanisms:
