The Feasibility Study on GRP Waste Used as Alternative Fuel for Cement Production

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polymer resin and glass fiber are the main wastes during the production process of glass-fiber reinforced plastics (GRP). With GRP products used widely in many fields, GRP wastes also got a large increase and the disposal of GRP wastes became a serious environmental problem. In this paper, the combustion characteristic of GRP wastes was tested by the thermal analysis and contrasted to that of powdered coal. In the full-scale test of GRP wastes co-processing in the cement kiln, the efficiency of coal-saving, the influence on chemical components of the product and the CO2 emission were investigated to evaluate the feasibility of this technology.
