The History and Future of Nuclear Elemental Analyzers for Product Optimization in the Cement Industry

摘要

This paper takes a critical look at the use of nuclear elemental analyzers for the manufacturing of cement- past, present and future. The paper begins with a brief historical tour of analyzers and then discusses in detail the strengths and trade-offs of current equipment, where they work, the value they deliver, and where they failed, concluding with a look at the latest development in the technology, and the future for nuclear elemental analysis in cement manufacturing control and cost reduction.
