Dec 25, 2017 · The experience of cement plants used solid fuels from waste as alternative fuels shows that there are no gas and solid particle emissions above the emission limit values (ELV) and no danger that transporting and/or combustion waste materials will lead to a deterioration of air quality in the immediate environment and the greater area where the plant is located.
Cement can cause ill health by skin contact, eye contact, or inhalation. Risk of injury depends on duration and level of exposure and individual sensitivity. Hazardous materials in wet concrete and mortar include:
The health profile of the factory workers and some residents of neighbouring communities showed high levels of respiratory and skin infections. Enforcement of law with regard to compliance on emissions and creation of a buffer zone around the cement factory would safeguard the environment and human health.
[PDF]Impacts like global warming and acidification are essentially due to direct emissions from the cement kiln (cf. Fig. 2 b). Finally impacts like ecotoxicity of marine environment are controlled at 57, 20 and 13% by respectively fuel production, direct emissions from cement kiln and final cement preparation.
Cement manufacturing is a highly energy intensive process, which involves intensive fuel consumption for clinker making and resulting in emissions. Beside Fuel consumption, the calcining
