Popis: Cement production is characterized by extremely high energy consumption per unit of product. Energy costs and environmental standards encouraged cement manufacturers worldwide to evaluate to what extent conventional fuels can be replaced by alternative fuels, i.e., processed waste materials, such as scrap tires. The decisive factors promoting the use of cement kilns for the utilization of scrap tires are: the high incineration temperature, the large area of the furnace, the significant length of the kiln, the long period of time the fuel stays inside the kiln, and the alkaline environment inside the kiln. The use of scrap tires in cement kilns is one of the best technologies for a complete and safe destruction of these wastes, due to the fact that there is a simultaneous benefit of destroying wastes and getting the energy. Thus, the use of scrap tires as alternative fuel in cement kilns has energy and economic justifiability, and it is environmentally friendly. In this article, monitoring results ...
