The objective of this study was to compile data on the status of POPs emissions from the cement industry, to share state of the art knowledge about PCDD / F formation mechanisms in
cement production processes and to show how it's possible to control and minimise PCDD / F emissions from cement kilns utilising integrated process optimisation, so called primary measures.
These materials leapfrog the most carbon - emitting, energy - intensive step in
the cement production process.
It is important to note that in India, a transformational change has taken place in
the cement production process.
Not exact matches
This information can be used to help us understand how various
processes, and the constituents added during
cement production, can affect the
cement's strength.
However, the high - temperature
process for making
cement is more energy - and carbon - intensive than the
production of asphalt from petroleum.
There's steel, aluminum,
cement, plastic, paper — all of which are big
processes we're dependent on, some of which directly generate CO2, like
cement production, and a lot of which are big industrial users of electricity or energy.
Combustion and
process emissions from
cement manufacturing, iron - and steelmaking, and chemical
production are particularly problematic.
Manufacturing facilities become carbon sinks GT's air capture technology allows the capture of CO2 in conjunction with heavy industrial
processes such as metal smelting,
cement production, and petrochemical refining.
Studies for the USA identified 30 opportunities in every
production step in the
cement - making
process and estimated the economic potential for energy efficiency improvement in the US
cement industry at 11 %, reducing emissions by 5 % (Worrell et al., 2000b; Worrell and Galitsky, 2004).
Cement production is a highly polluting
process; this industry alone is responsible for nearly 5 percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions.
He believes that ETS reforms could scare big emitting industries such as steel making and
cement production to leave the EU taking the associated emissions out of a regulated market, a
process referred to as carbon leakage.
In that regard, it seems certain that expanding this
process to large - scale electricity generation (up from the comparatively tiny carbon source of
cement production) would overwhelm the economy's demand for these chemical products.
His suggestion for replacing the highly - polluting Portland
cement and concrete
production process with geopolymeric
cements, which is also squeezed into the penultimate chapter, is far more compelling.
New industrial
processes may need to be invented, like alternatives to
cement, whose
production is especially carbon intensive.
In heavy industy, fossils fuels will always be required for lime and
cement kilns, metal smelters, steel mills, foundries and metal casting plants, metal cutting and braising torches, all factories that make ceramics (e.g., bricks, tiles, china, glass, etc), all food
production,
processing and distribution, space and water heating, cooking and baking, BBQ's, manufacture of porcelain - coated metals, harvesting of wood and lumber manufacture, isolation of essential oils by steam distillation for prepartion of fine fragrances flavors, etc because the fuels provide HIGH HEAT.
The
process needs to use the emissions of other
processes, such as brewing or
cement and steel
production.
This is mostly due to Information and Communication technology (ICT)- based optimisation of
production processes (such as clinker /
cement ratio), implementation of operations and maintenance improvements, fuel switching, and adoption of energy - efficient technologies.
These include industrial
processes for
production of steel,
cement and a range of fuels, from gasoline to bioethanol and hydrogen.
