Abstract

Worldwide, in the rotary kilns of cement plants, various amounts of combustible waste are burned, which would otherwise end up in municipal landfills. The paper first analyzes the literature on the co-processing of waste in cement manufacture and its influence on the environment and human health. Then, it shows how the combustion components of co-processed waste can influence the final characteristics of clinker and cement. The main objective of the paper is to determine the level of emissions of the resulting pollutants (total dust and flue gases: NOx, SO 2 , and CO) at the outlet of the chimney of the clinker kiln and flour mill to meet the requirements of the Integrated Environmental Permit (EIA) from Romania and present an estimation of the level of atmospheric air pollution using the climatological model of pollutant dispersion. Following these assessments (data shown), the cement factories will establish measures to reduce the pollution, if necessary, to comply with the regulations in force for the cement industry.
