This case study analyzes the environmental impacts of cement production at an ACC cement plant in Chhattisgarh, India. The production process involves raw material extraction, crushing, clinker burning, and grinding, which emit dust. A case study of the plant's crusher unit was conducted to evaluate its environmental impacts. The study found that fugitive dust emissions …

Environmental impact: Concrete plants can have a negative environmental impact, as they produce emissions that contribute to air pollution. Safety: Concrete plants can be dangerous, as they operate at high temperatures and pressures. This is important to consider when working in or around a concrete plant.

Simultaneously, the negative impacts of cement production climate change, the environment, and living things have been well documented. Given the importance of a healthy ecosystem, efforts have been made to improve the cement plant's operation system in order to reduce the industry's negative impact on the ecosystem's environmental balance.

The PCR for cement offers a "cradle-to-gate" overview, which considers the manufacturing process but does not include how the material affects the environment beyond the production plant. As PCRs evolve and more information is known, it may be possible to include impacts beyond the manufacturing process.

The environmental impacts caused by cement production are associated with mining and quarrying, waste disposal, materials storage, fuels and raw materials production, plant production capacity, clinker production, clinker content of the cement mix, technology, industrial practices, and the level of industrial synergy.

Cement is a big problem for the environment. Here's how to make it more sustainable ... Installation of the 100-metre-tall CCS facility at the Heidelberg Materials cement plant began in August and is due to be completed by the end of 2024. ... Get involved with our crowdsourced digital platform to deliver impact at scale. Global Agenda

Growing awareness of the importance of mitigating climate change is driving research efforts toward developing economically viable technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The high energy consumption and carbon-intensive nature of cement manufacturing make it worthwhile to examine the environmental and economic characteristics of process …

Implementing CCS in cement plants also provides a viable pathway for the industry to transition towards more environmentally friendly and low-carbon cement production. By capturing and storing CO 2, cement plants can continue producing this essential construction material while significantly reducing their environmental impact. This is crucial ...

Cement plant are an important source of air pollutants. Cement emissions have attracted great interests over the years due to their contribution in the environmental contamination. Cement industry generates notable atmospheric pollution and contributes to the deterioration of the air quality by producing hazardous air pollutants [[1], [2], [3]].

Moreover, the environmental impacts of cement production can be divided into three categories: global, regional, and local, as follows: a) ... It has been shown that cement plants can be modified to reduce the environmental impacts of cement production [11]. However, a significant investment is required to increase the energy efficiency of ...

The concrete industry is a major carbon emitter and polluter, with severe human health impacts. But circular solutions, including electrifying cement plants, making low-carbon cement, and bio ...

The research article is focused on the Environmental Impact Assessment of a proposed cement plant to be located in Sagamu, Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria. ... To be precise, relevant information with respect to health and environmental impacts associated with cement firms were sourced from published and unpublished articles including journals ...

Cement plants are a significant source of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide, which are associated with the following health and environmental impacts:

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 …
