How far is the subversive Sexual revolution of cement production from us?
It does not need to be crushed or calcined at high temperature.
No matter what kind of fuel is used, its combustion process will produce a large amount of carbon dioxide, resulting in an increase in global greenhouse gas emissions.
– or Alternative fuel.
Traditional cement production processes generate a large amount of carbon dioxide, which forms a greenhouse effect and accelerates global warming.
If someone tells you that cement that meets the requirements for building use can be produced without crushing or high-temperature calcination, has it overturned your understanding? So let me tell you, scientists on the other side of the ocean are trying to produce “cement” that meets performance requirements using chemical methods, although there is still a considerable distance from large-scale production.
This process needs to consume a large amount of fossil fuels – coal, oil, natural gas, etc.
Scientists are searching for a more environmentally friendly cement manufacturing method to reduce the use of fossil fuels and other carbon dioxide producing fuels.
Under normal temperature, chemical synthesis can be used to produce cement that meets the requirements of the construction department or has better performance, which may become one of the alternative ways for human beings to deal with climate warming.
Sponsored by: China Cement Association Enterprise Culture Branch Headline Inscription: Yan Jiawang – A member of the China Calligraphers Association does not need to crush or heat a disruptive study on a cement production method.
With the increasingly severe impact of global climate change on human production and life, people are beginning to realize the importance of reducing carbon emissions.
This method is hailed as a disruptive breakthrough
.
Finding a low-carbon or carbon free cement manufacturing method has become a major issue facing humanity.
The traditional cement production method involves crushing and mixing limestone and clay, followed by a strict firing process to produce cement clinker under high temperature conditions, and then adding an appropriate amount of gypsum and mixed materials to produce cement that meets the standards.
They use electrochemical processes to manufacture various rich calcareous raw materials into cement at room temperature, thereby avoiding the use of fossil fuels and the release of carbon dioxide from limestone.
To this end, Yet-Ming Chiang, a famous professor of materials science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and Leah Ellis, a Canadian female chemist, jointly set up a company, which is subverting the traditional cement production technology.
Scientists of Yet-Ming Chiang Company believe that it is a more environmentally friendly, economic and sustainable manufacturing method to replace the kilns that consume the most energy in traditional cement manufacturing with electrolyzers.
In addition, the raw material limestone required for the production of cement clinker will release 40% of its mass of carbon dioxide during high-temperature decomposition.
