Cement production is known to be a polluting
and energy-intensive industry. Cement plants account for 5 percent of
global emissions of carbon dioxide and one of the main causes of global
warming. However, cement it is literally the glue of progress. Designing Green Cement Plants
provides the tools and techniques for designing new large cement plants
that would promote sustainable growth, preserve natural resources to
the maximum possible extent and make least possible additions to the
Greenhouse Gases that cause global warming. Brief and but
authoritative, this title embraces new technologies and methods such as
Carbon Capture and Sequestration, as well as methods for harnessing
renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. The author also
discusses the efficient use of energy and materials through the use
recycling. In addition, this book also examines thepossibilities of
developing green cement substitutes such as Calera, Caliix, Novacem,
Aether and Geopolymer cements.
Includes the tools and methods for reducing the emissions of greenhouse Gases + Explores technologies such as: carbon capture and storage and substitute cements + Provides essential data to determining the unique factors involved in designing large new green cement plants + Includes interactive excel spreadsheets + Methods for preforming a cost benefits analysis for the production of green cements as opposed to conventional OPC.
