Cement works

For installations in areas of heavy contamination, such as quarries or cement works, additional filtration or automatic self-cleaning is required otherwise, the air filter will clog up rapidly. Filter condition indicators are available and are recommended.

The objectives for disposal of electronic waste appliances are (a) stripping of hazardous substances (b) reduction of pollutant and metal contents in the plastic fraction, thus permitting recycling or incineration in waste incineration plants or cement works (c) recovery of nonferrous metals and (d) attainment of commercially recyclable scrap quality. 

Disposal of residual fraction Depending on their quality and on the specific requirements applicable, residual fractions are disposed of in MSW incinerators, hazardous waste incinerators, cement works, or they are recycled. 

A number of industries are traditionally associated with the production of unpleasant smells, e.g. leatherworks, fat rendering plants, cement works, soap works and glue works. But these are generally associated with urban environments and many living close to them depend on the industry for their livelihood. Similarly, those traditionallly living in... 

The high costs (approx. 30 m. per annum) of the construction employers liability insurance, caused by incidences of bricklayer s itch are important innovation drivers. Since the mid 1970s the construction employers habihty insurance, has endeavoured in consultations with the Association of German Cement Works to obtain a reduction of the chromate content in cement Further initiatives such as e.g. GISBAU" and also regulations have stepped up the pressure on cement manufacturers. 

In a study of 1,752 patients considered to have occupational dermatoses, contact dermatitis was the main diagnosis in 1,496 patients (92% women, 83% men). The allergic type, as opposed to the irritant type, was more prevalent in men (73%) than in women (51%). Positive patch tests to chromium (not otherwise specified) occurred in 8% of the women and 29% of the men. Among 280 chromium-sensitized men, 50% were employed in building and concrete work, 17% in metal work, and 12% in tanneries. In the 42 chromium-sensitized women, 20% were in cement work, 19% in metal work, 28% in cleaning, and 15% in laboratory work (Fregert 1975). 

In petroleum technology, shaped charges fired from special firing mechanisms (jet perforators) are lowered into the borehole down to the level of the oil horizon. Their purpose is to perforate the pipework and the cement work at the bottom of the borehole, so as to enable the oil to enter it. 

Waste fuels are in the pyroprocess used practically in each Slovak cement works. Good results were gained during burning the car tires and organic waste.

The Italcementi Group has experienced a certain number of burner brands in its cement works, which are briefly presented here next. 

Normally, ambient air contains < 1 ng T1 per m (Ewers 1988). The range of thallium concentrations in sea water (in the form of n ions) has been reported to be relatively constant at 0.01 to 0.016 pgL , and in non-polluted river water this is 0.01 to 1 pgL (Kaplan and Mattigod 1998). The lowest environmental concentrations were found by Cheam (2001) in arctic snow and ice (< 0.05 to 8.4 ng L ). The high water solubility of thallium compounds may result in the local contamination of river and ground water by mining, smelting, and cement works wastewater (Fbrstner and Wittmann 1979, Cheam 2001). 

In the field of the silicate industry, cement and magnesite works are the most important emission sources. CaO, MgO and other oxides are the main components of the fly ash. The pH is considerably alkaline the active as well as exchange pH from the emissions of cement works is approximately...

Table 3. Development of Danish industry between 1914 and 1935. Only firms with six or more employed workers are included. The chemical-related industries include dairies, sugar refineries, margarine factories, breweries, cement works, glassworks and works producing stone and claywares.

In the rotary kiln of cement works, clay and lime are sintered or burnt into cement clinker. The reactor is run in counterflow Primary firing heats the material to approx. 1,400 °C, secondary firing in the loading area ensures calcinations at approx. 900 °C. Approximately 3.3 GJ energy are required for production of 1 Mg cement [20]. To reduce the energy costs, which account for approx. 50 % of the production costs, substitute fuels such as old tires, used oil, paint sludges, sawdust or refuse-derived fuels are used. As much as 30 % of the total heat requirement of a plant have been covered by these secondary fuels [21], the solid residues of which are integrated into the product [19]. 

All three types can be found in use in cement works control laboratories, but the preferred system is the multichannel type fitted with channels for the simultaneous determination of the eight elements Fe, Ca, K, S, Si, Al, Mg, and Na. Depending on the local geology, a chaimel for the determination of fluorine may be fitted if the limestone deposit is close to a source of fluorspar (CaF2). (The determination of fluorine is beyond the scope of an energy-dispersive XRF spectrometer.) At some works a channel is added to monitor the chlorine content of the clinker, which can be introduced from the fuel used to fire the kiln. 

X-ray fluorescence spectrometry has been established as the prime analytical technique for cement works control since the early 1970s. During the 20 years that have followed. X-ray spectrometers have been incorporated into complete control systems, which include sample transport from the sampling points to the works laboratory, sample preparation and transport into the spectrometer, analysis, calculation of control moduli, and generation and feedback of control signals to the plant to modify the process when necessary.
