Co-processing - resource preservation in a resource intensive industry

摘要

A wide range of alternative resources i.e. solid and liquid waste derived fuels, raw materials and organically hazardous waste can be successfully treated and recovered in the cement industry by co-processing. Alternatives resources co-processing in cement kilns implies complete recovery of energy and valuable raw material components of the waste, i.e. reduction of fossil fuels and virgin raw materials for cement production. This integral method contributes to overall sustainability and reduced GHG-emissions as methane release from uncontrolled dumping as well as CO_2 emission by fossil fuels, and saves public funds for building overcapacities of expensive new incinerators.
