This work analyzes how gases emitted during the manufacture of clinker vary in a cement plant using two types fuel: petroleum coke and unusable tires (UTs). study is based on case real time data more than 40 process variables. Gases are analyzed from points production process: sintering kiln, where main focus emissions to atmosphere by chimney, preheater. The variation CO NOx depending oxygen f...

The carbonization of coal to produce metallurgical coke is an alternative route for the feedstock recycling of plastic wastes of different structures and origins. Individual plastics or mixed plastics of domestic origin can be incorporated into typical coking blends as secondary raw materials. The effects of the composition of the plastic wastes on the thermoplastic properties of coal, coking p...

In this report, we introduce a novel and commercially viable method to recover renewable hydrogen and carbon nanotubes from waste glycerol produced in the biodiesel process. Gas-phase catalytic reforming converts glycerol to clean hydrogen fuel and by replacing the problematical coke formed on the catalyst with high value carbon nanotubes, added value can be realised. Additional benefits of aro...

Ceramic-matrix composites containing TiC-TiN have been used in a variety of application because of their superior properties such as high hardness, good wear resistance and high chemical stability. In this research, effect of coke and coke/calcium beds in synthesis of Al 2O3-Ti(C, N) composites using alumino-carbothermic reduction of TiO 2 has been investigated. Al, TiO 2 and active ca...

In the absence of adequate preventive measures the manufacture of carbon electrodes is attended by a considerable dust hazard. The present paper is based on a study of the clinical, radiological, and pathological changes resulting from inhalation of this dust, which is derived from crushed coke and anthracite. An account is given of the findings in a clinical survey of 15 men who had been emplo...

Sintering is a process by which a mixture of iron ores, fl uxes and coke is agglomerated in a sinter plant to manufacture a sinter product of a suitable composition, quality and granulometry to be used as burden material in the blast furnace. This process is studied and researched in the steelmaking industry in general, and in sinter plants in particular, as well as in universities and metallur...

During the coking process in coal chemical industry, the stability of gas collector pressure is an important guarantee for the normal production of coke oven. This paper combines the adaptive fuzzy control algorithm and the fuzzy decoupling rule to control the gas collector pressure, and coordinates the entire system through the establishment of pre-header suction supervisory control. The speci...

Pulverized coal injection has assisted the steel industry to lower operating costs, extend coke oven life and lower greenhouse emissions. As the understanding of the impact of quality of the injected coal has increased, there has been a shift from high volatile thermal coals to low volatile semi-anthracites. A heat and mass model was used to investigate the impact of the injected coal propertie...
