Concrete recycling is becoming an increasingly popular way to utilize waste concrete left behind when structures or roadways are demolished. In the past, this rubble was disposed of in landfills, but with more attention being paid to environmental concerns, concrete recycling allows reuse of the rubble while also keeping construction costs down.

Recovering waste heat (a by-product of machines or processes that use energy) could also provide carbon-free electricity. Another efficiency lever is advanced analytics. One European cement producer achieved 6 percent fuel savings by creating self-learning models of a kiln's heat profile and optimizing the shape and intensity of the kiln ...

Although the concrete is considered durable when exposed to environmental conditions, it suffers from deterioration in waste treatment plant structures [14]. The type of wastewater and its components is dependent on the source from which this water is brought, each type of wastewater causes different effects on properties of concrete.

Concrete sludge is one such waste. At the end of the work day, each 9 m3 concrete mixer truck brings back approx. 200 to 400 kg of fresh concrete mix to the …
The aggregates are sourced from a local body of water and crushed in a natural procedure. That process releases nearly no carbon emissions, the cement is the true problem when it comes to carbon footprint. The cement process is sole reason why the concrete industry makes up 8% of overall global emissions and 12% of emissions in …
Oldcastle Precast Inc. (DBA Rotondo Precast) in Telford, Pa., utilizes two 1,000-gallon tanks and an automated pH monitoring and adjustment system for treating process water. Bob Dando, Rotondo's safety director, indicated that the plant recycles as much of the treated water as possible when cleaning production equipment with a …
The main sources of concrete generating waste in a concrete batching plant (CBP) are the returned concrete waste (RCW). The RCW corresponds to the concrete …
Concrete and cement manufacturing are among industrial processes producing large amounts of carbon dioxide emissions, contributing to air pollution, global …
The 5 Best Ways to Handle Waste Concrete. It's usually not waste, so stop calling it that! Change the mindset of your operation! If it's really waste, bite the bullet and haul it to a landfill (usually at huge costs)! If your material has any sort of value, and you …
This article presents the results of a study dealing with the utilization of sludge water from a concrete plant as a partial replacement for mixing water in the production of cement composites. The replacement of mixing water with sludge water from a concrete plant was carried out in the amounts of 20% and 50%. The following tests …
Waste heat from cement production can be used to increase the yield of hydrogen. Finally, the plant will use the oxygen generated to boost efficiency in its kiln. The use of hydrogen directly as a fuel in kiln and/or calciner will also be investigated, with the aim of zero fossil fuel use in the future.
Concrete recycling vs concrete disposal. There are two ways to deal with old concrete: recycle it or dispose of it. Just looking at the cost to recycle concrete it is much lower than the cost to dispose of it. Recycling concrete costs around $4 -$10 per ton. Disposing of concrete can cost as much as $22-45 per ton!
Future cement plants could leapfrog competitors by combining digital technology and more sustainable operations. Finally, incorporating alternative fuels such as waste and biomass to replace fossil fuels, a multi-decade trend in the industry, could reduce emissions by nearly 10 percent by 2050. 2 Technology roadmap: Low-carbon transition …

According to Ekolu and Dawneerangen (2010), wastewater from concrete plants consists of washing water from the interior of the mixers, surface runoff water …
controlled concrete batching plants may discharge highly alkaline wastewater, dust and excess noise, but plants operated in accordance with these guidelines should operate in harmony with the environment and neighboring communities. This guideline aims to minimize waste generation, water and auxiliary chemicals. 1.2 Objective This guideline ...
In the surveyed cement plant, three balances are established between input and output material in the raw mill, clinker production, and cement grinding system. 2.48 t, 4.69 t, and 3.41 t of materials are required to produce a ton of the product in raw material preparation, clinker production, and cement grinding stages; waste gases account for ...
One hundred percent substitution was recorded in a plant-utilizing liquid waste in its main burner. The main alternative fuels used in cement industry are residue oil and solvents, contaminated wood and process waste from wood, used tires and rubber waste, plastic waste, thermal fraction of domestic waste, sewage sludge, and animal …
1. Introduction. With the accelerated construction process, the demand for ready-mixed concrete has increased dramatically, and ready-mixed concrete mixing plants have sprung up all over the world [1].Due to the lack of a long-term management system and disposal technology, the wastewater and solid waste from mixing plants are piled up …
OPC by the plant ashes was done at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% by weight of cement. Slump test was done in accordance with BS 1881-102, 1983: Method for determination of slump.
Cement is made by firing limestone, clay, and other materials in a kiln. CO2 is emitted from the energy used to fire the material, and the chemical reaction produced from the mixture when it is exposed to heat. According to the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, each pound of concrete releases 0.93 pounds of carbon dioxide. Since ...
Waste fuels comprise a significant (and growing) part of the energy mix for cement plants (see Table 3), and the Canadian Portland Cement Association estimates that waste fuel could eventually supply up to 50% of the energy. ... Concrete waste is also created in new construction. Partial truckloads of concrete have long been a disposal …
