Cement Kiln Incinerators Source: Paul Chaplin, The Patriot-News/file 4 Source: journal-news.net Case Studies from Resin Manufacturers (Kuraray, Formerly Calgon Carbon) Spent resin in North Carolina (~70 cubic feet) was sent to a waste-to-energy incinerator in Virginia. Spent resin in Colorado (~425 cubic feet) was sent to a waste-to-energy incinerator in California. New resin water treatment installations are planned in Colorado (14.5 MGD) and New Jersey (3 MGD) in 2020. This equates to ~ 2,700 cubic feet and ~540 cubic feet of spent resin that will be incinerated at the end of their service lives at least two years from now. 5 Case Studies from Resin Manufacturers (Purolite) Select cement kilns have incinerated waste resins from Purolite’s production plant in Philadelphia. Not all cement kilns are set up to dry feed resins or similar media. Each pound of resin will generate about 12,000 BTUs of energy making resin a useful fuel supplement for the cement kilns. The temperature at which the cement kilns operate (1400°C-2000°C) allows for full destruction of PFAS compounds. The recoverable energy is also helpful from a sustainability standpoint. 6 Rotary Kiln Incinerators Rotary kilns are used for various Counter-current manufacturing, calcination, thermal processing, and incineration applications including .

Incineration of PFAS-laden Media Ion exchange resins saturated with PFAS compounds can be incinerated in rotary kilns with gas temperatures of up to ~2,000 ºC PFAS compounds decompose at < 700 ºC and generate different free radicals and unstable fragments of original PFAS molecules, and finally form stable fluorocarbon compounds such as CF4 and C2F6 Higher temperatures (1,000-1,600 ºC) may be needed to break very stable C-F bonds without a catalyst (e.g., calcium), complete oxidation reactions, and finally form HF that requires post-combustion treatment with a caustic medium such as Ca(OH)2 A conventional cement kiln with post-combustion treatment unit can effectively incinerate PFAS-laden media and capture HF from combustion flue gas However, there are several research data gaps such as information about optimized temperature and residence time requirements for destruction of various PFAS compounds Sources: Krusic et al.

Lime as a Low Cost Additive for Fluorine Capture during PFAS Incineration Several researchers have reported effective PFAS destruction and capture by using a mixture of PFAS and excess amounts of CaO, CaCO3, or Ca(OH)2 Incineration of a mixture of PFAS-laden media and a calcium sorbent can lower the total energy requirement (by lowering the incineration temperature) Different free radicals and unstable fragments generated during the decomposition stage of PFAS compounds (at < 700 ºC) react with a calcium additive to form stable calcium fluoride mineral before forming stable organic fluorocarbon compounds (e.g., CF4) that require very high temperature (up to 1,600 ºC) for decomposition Water Waste 1: Spent PFAS-Laden Spent Anion Exchange Anion Exchange Resin Treatment Incinerator and Energy Plant Waste 2: Water-softening Recovery System lime sludge or lime Sources: Wang et al.

  • Cement Data Sheet
    42 CEMENT (Data in thousand metric tons unless otherwise noted) Domestic Production and Use: In 2019, U.S. portland cement production increased by 2.5% to 86 million tons, and masonry cement production continued to remain steady at 2.4 million tons. Cement was produced at 96 plants in 34 States, and at 2 plants in Puerto Rico. U.S. cement production continued to be limited by closed or idle plants, underutilized capacity at others, production disruptions from plant upgrades, and relatively inexpensive imports. In 2019, sales of cement increased slightly and were valued at $12.5 billion. Most cement sales were to make concrete, worth at least $65 billion. In 2019, it was estimated that 70% to 75% of sales were to ready-mixed concrete producers, 10% to concrete product manufactures, 8% to 10% to contractors, and 5% to 12% to other customer types. Texas, California, Missouri, Florida, Alabama, Michigan, and Pennsylvania were, in descending order of production, the seven leading cement-producing States and accounted for nearly 60% of U.S. production.

  • Characterization and Utilization of Cement Kiln Dusts (Ckds) As Partial Replacements of Portland Cement
    Characterization and Utilization of Cement Kiln Dusts (CKDs) as Partial Replacements of Portland Cement by Om Shervan Khanna A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Om Shervan Khanna (2009) Characterization and Utilization of Cement Kiln Dusts (CKDs) as Partial Replacements of Portland Cement Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Om Shervan Khanna Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto Abstract The characteristics of cement kiln dusts (CKDs) and their effects as partial replacement of Portland Cement (PC) were studied in this research program. The cement industry is currently under pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and solid by- products in the form of CKDs. The use of CKDs in concrete has the potential to substantially reduce the environmental impact of their disposal and create significant cost and energy savings to the cement industry. Studies have shown that CKDs can be used as a partial substitute of PC in a range of 5 – 15%, by mass. Although the use of CKDs is promising, there is very little understanding of their effects in CKD-PC blends. Previous studies provide variable and often conflicting results. The reasons for the inconsistent results are not obvious due to a lack of material characterization data. The characteristics of a CKD must be well-defined in order to understand its potential impact in concrete. The materials used in this study were two different types of PC (normal and moderate sulfate resistant) and seven CKDs. The CKDs used in this study were selected to provide a representation of those available in North America from the three major types of cement manufacturing processes: wet, long-dry, and preheater/precalciner.

  • Portland Cement Plants Is Contained 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart F and Applies to Any Facility Constructed Or Modified After August 17, 1971
    Interim White Paper - Midwest RPO Candidate Control Measures 3/6/2006 Page 1 Source Category: Cement Kilns INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to provide a forum for public review and comment on the evaluation of candidate control measures that may be considered by the States in the Midwest Regional Planning Organization (MRPO) to develop strategies for ozone, PM2.5, and regional haze State Implementation Plans (SIPs). Additional emission reductions beyond those due to mandatory controls required by the Clean Air Act may be necessary to meet SIP requirements and to demonstrate attainment. This document provides background information on the mandatory control programs and on possible additional control measures. The candidate control measures identified in this document represent an initial set of possible measures. The MRPO States have not yet determined which measures will be necessary to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. As such, the inclusion of a particular measure here should not be interpreted as a commitment or decision by any State to adopt that measure. Other measures will be examined in the near future. Subsequent versions of this document will likely be prepared for evaluation of additional potential control measures. The evaluation of candidate control measures is presented in a series of “Interim White Papers.” Each paper includes a title, summary table, description of the source category, brief regulatory history, discussion of candidate control measures, expected emission reductions, cost effectiveness and basis, timing for implementation, rule development issues, other issues, and a list of supporting references. Table 1 summarizes this information for the cement kiln source category.

Therefore, the level of emissions is different depending on the type of fuels and waste used. The amount of industrial and municipal co-processed waste in the Romanian cement industry from 2004 to 2013 was about 1,500,000 tons, the equivalent of municipal waste generated in a year for 18 cities with over 250,000 inhabitants. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the emission level of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hydrofluoric acid (HF) at the clinker kilns at two cement factories in Romania for different annual time intervals and to do a comparative analysis, to estimate their compliance with legislation in force.

  • Management Standards Proposed for Cement Kiln Dust Waste Fact Sheet
    United States Solid Waste and EPA530-F-99-023 Environmental Protection Agency Emergency Response August 1999 (5305W) www.epa.gov/osw Office of Solid Waste Environmental Fact Sheet MANAGEMENT STANDARDS PROPOSED FOR CEMENT KILN DUST WASTE The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is promoting pollution prevention, recycling, and safer disposal of cement kiln dust (CKD) by pro- posing management standards for this waste. The Agency believes that these management standards are a creative, affordable, and common sense approach that can protect human health and the environment without im- posing unnecessary regulatory burdens on the cement kiln industry. These standards provide a new, tailored framework that safeguards ground water and limits risk from releases of dust to air. Background Since 1980, cement kiln dust and certain other wastes have been excluded from otherwise applicable hazardous waste regulations under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). As required by RCRA, EPA studied the adverse affects on human health and the environment from the disposal of cement kiln dust. The Agency found that some environmental harm results from CKD waste, and in 1993, reported these and other findings to Congress. Subsequently, Congress required EPA to determine the appropriate regulatory framework for managing cement kiln dust waste. In 1995, EPA determined that some additional control of cement kiln dust was needed. Although current disposal practices cause some environmental damage, the Agency found that regulating cement kiln dust as a hazardous waste was not appropriate. Since some controls are needed, EPA is proposing a tailored set of standards for managing cement kiln dust waste.

Farrell Submitted to the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society on May 18, 2018 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Technology and Policy ABSTRACT Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology holds potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial sector. Industrial CCS applications, however, are more challenging to analyze than CCS in the power sector – mainly due to the vast heterogeneity in industrial and fuel processes. I focus on emission sources from cement and investigate the estimated costs associated with CCS in cement production.
