This paper provides a critical analysis of the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) deployed at Tecnosol Comércio e Serviços Ltda., partner of Holdercim Brasil S.A, a cement group. The main activity of Tecnosol is co-processing industrial waste in the synthesis kiln at the Alvorada cement plant, in the municipality of Cantagalo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The purpose of co-processing in...

The numerical modelling and process simulation for the fault diagnosis of rotary kiln incinerator were accomplished. In the numerical modelling, two models applied to the modelling within the kiln are the combustion chamber model including the mass and energy balance equations for two combustion chambers and 3D thermal model. The combustion chamber model predicts temperature within the kiln, fl...

The experimental investigation presented in this research was performed order to examine the possibility of removal SO2 from flue gases by cleaning with a solution lime suspension and formic acid (Ca(OH)2 HCOOH). Research conducted laboratory plant (rotary kiln) 44 kW. mass (LS) 400 g. LS homogenized (mixed) sample cup 2 g (0.5%), 4 (1%) 8 (2%) 60% acid. placed gas washing bottle, where partial...

The uptake in Europe of Energy from Waste (EfW) incinerator plants has increased rapidly in recent years. In the UK, 25 municipal waste incinerators with energy recovery are now in operation; however, their waste supply chains and business practices vary significantly. With over a hundred more plant developments being considered it is important to establish best business practices for ensuring ...

A study was conducted to evaluate the health impact of airborne pollutants on incinerator workers at IZAYDAS Incinerator, Turkey. Ambient air samples were taken from two sampling points in the incinerator area and analyzed for particulate matter, heavy metals, volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) and dioxins. The places where the maximum exposure was expected to occur w...

Co-processing of hazardous wastes in cement kilns have for decades been thought to cause increased emissions of PCDD/PCDFs--a perception that has been evaluated in this study. Hundreds of PCDD/PCDF measurements conducted by the cement industry and others in the last few years, on emissions and solid materials, as well as recent test burns with hazardous wastes in developing countries do not sup...
