Compared to the standard cement plant the most important aspects brought by the implementation of the carbon capture feature are the addition of both selective catalytic reduction SCR and flue gas desulfurization FGD units to control the concentrations of NO x and SO x thus avoiding solvent or sorbent degradation Furthermore a water
Decarbonizing the cement manufacturing sector presents an interesting and pressing challenge as it is one of the largest energy consumers in industry 7% emitting considerable amounts of anthropogenic carbon dioxide 7% This paper performs a technical and environmental assessment of decarbonisation of cement production through process
NCB has taken up a study to carry out water footprint assessment of cement plants as per ISO 14046 2014 This paper highlights water footprint impacts associated with cement plants and strategies
Cement factories significantly contribute to atmospheric pollution by generating fine particulate matter PM which can potentially increase the mortality lack of information on the health impacts of PM pollution from cement operations in Brazil prompted this investigation We used corrected PM measurements from low cost sensors from March
Retrofitting the cement plants to oxyfuel reduces climate change impacts between 74 and 91% while with additional use of biomass as alternative fuel the cement plants reach negative emission
Cement plants aggravate the critical challenges of anthropogenic environmental pollution global warming climate change and excessive fossil fuel use by emitting 15% of global contaminants These pollutants have a negative effect on ecosystems and human health Despite the inevitable utilization of cement based materials in many fields due to population growth and urbanization
The paper presents an advanced exergoenvironmental and thermo sustainability analysis of a dry process 5 million ton capacity cement plant with real time operational data The analysis was based on component wise modelling by separating the exergy destruction ED into endogenous exogenous avoidable and unavoidable parts for the two production lines L1 and
Cement manufacturing is a capital intensive industry with a myriad of operational expenses that can make or break a business From raw materials and energy costs to labor and maintenance the operating costs of running a cement plant can be these critical factors is essential for any entrepreneur looking to
This work is concerned with the environmental impact of the cement industry in the west of Saudi Arabia represented in two cement plants and one cement depository The concentrations of natural and artificial radionuclides in samples of cement raw materials and end product and soil collected from the cement plant and its surrounding area were measured
With a composite density of g/cm3 compared to concrete s average of g/cm3 and a compressive strength exceeding commercial concrete demands of MPa to MPa this lightweight
For cement plants in Other Asia and Other developing countries Despite these uncertainties their impact on future projections is limited and does not alter the main findings of our scenario analysis Text S6 Fig S13 Second most relevant policies are only available for key countries or regions and lack detailed annual and

China as the world s largest cement producer and consumer increased its cement production yield from 210 million tonnes Mt in 1990 2200 Mt in 2020 a ten fold increase National Bureau of Statistics of China 1991 National Bureau of Statistics of China 2021 As a result cement production has been the largest source of Hg emissions since 2009 with an
The impact of cement wastes on plant nutrient balance is a multifaceted issue with repercussions for ecosystem health This disturbance in nutrient dynamics can lead to imbalances in essential elements like nitrogen phosphorus and potassium crucial for plant growth and development Khan et al 2023 Furthermore the alkaline nature of
Cement plants impact land use and biodiversity in the following manner 1 displacement of current activities flora and fauna on the land where quarry and cement plant are to be located; 2 land degradation and disturbance of biodiversity on the land and 3 creation of a land use that is incompatible with adjacent land uses thereby affecting
Concrete is the most used material in the construction industry and the second most used after water Cement is the main component of concrete A total of 8% of global CO2 emissions correspond to the cement industry; CO2 is the main greenhouse gas contributing to global warming To mitigate climate change it is necessary to design buildings with a lower

The industrial sector is responsible for a significant portion of global CO2 emissions Since some industrial CO2 emissions cannot be avoided carbon capture and storage has a critical role to play in industrial decarbonization The objective of this study is to highlight the impact of false air ingress—a standard cement production process occurrence that dilutes kiln
Objective To examine the strength of evidence through systematic review of published literature on the association between effects of exposure to cement dust on respiratory health of communities residing near cement and data sources A systematic search and review of observational studies in Medline Embase and Cumulative Index to Nursing and
Generally in cement plants the circulation efficiency of the cooling water reaches 99% and the wastewater from domestic service is treated to meet the required standard before discharged Li et al 2014 In this way the overall water demand and associated environmental impact are reduced in cement industry
