The evaluation methods between GB/T 26566—2011“Test method for burnability of cement raw meal” and Lafarge K₁₄₅₀ burnability index method are compared. Lafarge K₁₄₅₀ burnability index method is used to test and evaluate the burnability of cement raw meal for 26 production lines in Northern Regions of China. The influence law of cement raw meal rate value is also discussed. The results show that the GB/T 26566—2011 method still needs to be further improved， and the K₁₄₅₀ burnability index method is more convenient， which is a good supplementary for the GB/T 26566—2011 method. The average burnability index of cement raw meal is 76， of which 15% production lines are evaluated as “excellent”， 42% are “good”， 31% are “middle” and 12% are “poor”. The rate value has a great influence on the burnability of cement raw meal. Burnability of cement raw meal will get worse when lime saturation coefficient （KH） and silicon rate （SM） increases， which leading to the liquid content and ion diffusion velocity will be reduced at 1 450 °C. The liquid viscosity will be increased as aluminum rate （IM） increasing， and the reaction speed will decrease. Comparing with SM and KH， the impact of IM on the burnability of cement raw meal is lower.
