CO2 resulted from fuel combustion, radiative power of the hot gases and the greenhouse effect. Applications in the clinkering plants [articol]

Abstract

Aspects especially regarding the access to new resources of fossil fuels, but not only, have determined the “activation” of other types of fuels besides the classical ones, in the cement industry also. In order to measure the thermo-chemical and energetic potential of some fuels in this paper there are given a number of parameters characteristic to the fuels: heat power, energy, volume, chemical composition of the hot gases and their radiative power. In this paper it is emphasized that in all cases the chemical composition of the fuel and, especially, the content of CO2 is a parameter of great influence. Therefore, the role of CO2 in the heat transfer in a clinkering plant is underlined. In the same time, the fuels are being compared through the implications of their CO2 emissions on “the greenhouse effect”.
