Analysis on the CO2 Emission of Calcium Carbide Sludge as Secondary Raw Material in Cement Clinker Production

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the development of economy, China has become one of the largest cement producers in the world. However, cement industry is a main contributor of global carbon emissions. Substituting calcium carbide sludge for limestone is an effective method for CO2 emission reduction in cement industry and has developed rapidly in recent years in China. The purpose of this study is to determine the life cycle CO2 emission of cement clinker produced with calcium carbide sludge as secondary raw material. The results show that compared with general cement clinker, the life cycle CO2 emission intensity of cement clinker produced with calcium carbide sludge will be decreased by 39.1% when substitution rate is 80%. And the CO2 emission results from the procedure of cement clinker production accounts for 85.7% of the total emission, in this stage, the CO2 emission declined by 42.2%.
