Currently, there are three types of plastic waste recycling: mechanical recycling, incineration, and chemical recycling. Mechanical recycling is the most widely used recycling option, and it involves mechanically grinding or compounding plastic waste for re-use in similar products. However, this process will result in poorer plastic quality ...
Bull, noticing that kilns' appetite for fuel was denuding the Indian landscape of trees, designed the BTK to take advantage of waste heat from newly fired bricks and fuel combustion. 13 The kiln consists of a circular or oval trench in which green bricks are stacked in a lattice pattern. Workers create a continuous firing zone—they shift ...
alternative fuel in cement kilns, provided it is available at a cost less than the normal fossile fuel – coal. Plastics waste, which have quite high calorific values, some which having more than that of coal, offer a viable alternative fuel. As Cement Kilns are operated at a very high temperature in the range of 1500OC or more, there

Plastic waste has good calorific value, ranging between 15 and 45 GJ/tonne, according to the kind of plastic and can be used as solid-recovered fuel [12]. Plastic waste present in landfills or dumpsites is a heterogeneous mixture of different forms of plastic, which is mainly composed of single-use plastic.
In response to these challenges, UHDP and partners have been exploring the use of 200-liter horizontal drum charcoal kilns. Project personnel were previously aware of the technology, but it was not until the 2009 ECHO Asia Agriculture Conference in Chiang Mai that they were introduced to technical information about the drum kilns produced by …

Plastic can be transported either to the kiln or to the precalciners through a tube or belt conveyor. Mathematical modeling showed that usage of polyethylene and polystyrene plastics as alternative fuel decreased the emission of the CO 2, which is approximately 1.0 ton of CO 2 per ton of coal replacement.
This paper deals with the techniques to use plastic waste for co-processing in cement kiln for energy recovery. Plastics, a versatile material and friend to the common man, have now become one of the most serious environmental issues when it is discarded into the environment. The focus of this study is on eco-friendly disposal of plastic waste.

Almost 25–30 years are required to make the land productive again, whose topsoil has been used for brick production. Each kiln uses 350 tons of wood as fuel every year, which can end up with destructive consequences (Bhat 2017). Brick kilns can produce both short- as well as long-term effects on environmental health.
Cement manufacturing is one of the leading energy consuming and heavy pollutant processes which is accountable for CO 2, NO X, SO 2 emissions and some heavy metal discharge from the pre-calciner kiln system. In past few decades there has been an enormous amount of researches to reduce the energy and environmental cost by using …

Waste from nearly 20 global garment makers is being burnt as fuel for brick kilns in Cambodia, according to a new report, which says the "pre-consumer waste" is having toxic impacts on workers in these factories.
The energy efficiency of cement plants strongly depends on the type of kiln used for clinkerisation [49]. Cement kilns have evolved from long wet kilns to state-of-the-art dry kilns with a calciner, a 6-stage preheater and a high-efficiency cooler. Biomass can be utilised as a fuel in both old wet kilns and modern dry kilns. Table 1 presents the
Celadon, a type of glazed stoneware, was a specialty of the Sukhothai Kingdom. The potters used a unique firing technique to achieve the characteristic green or blue-green glaze, which resulted from the reduction of iron oxide in the clay during the firing process. The kilns themselves were carefully designed to regulate temperature and airflow.
derived fuel (RDF) in WTE co-incineration plants (Sarc and Lorber, 2013). RDF has been broadly applied in cement kilns or co-firing with coal in power plants (Chol et al., 2018). Recent years have seen an increasing number of RDF power plants in Thailand. RDF is used in the mechanical process of MSW treatment, resulting in a high heating
