Description:
The catalog of Industrial Process Profiles for Environmental Use was developed as an aid in defining the environmental impacts of industrial activity in the United States. Entries for each industry are in consistent format and form separate chapters of the study. The cement industry consists of companies producing complex calcium-silicate-aluminate-ferrite materials which when mixed with water form a binding material for aggregates in 'concrete.' One chemical tree, one process flow sheet, and six process descriptions have been prepared to characterize the industry. Within each process description available data have been presented on input materials, operating parameters, utility requirements and waste streams. Data related to the subject matter, including company, product and raw material data, are included as appendices.
