Basic raw materials for paper production are cellulose fibers and water. Water plays a major role in the process of cellulose and paper production and it is present in almost all phases of the cellulose fiber production process. Because of that the cellulose and paper industry is considered to be one of the largest consumers of natural resource pol...

Gypsum is added to the Portland cement clinker in the amount of 3 to 5% in the grinding phase as the binding rate regulator. When it comes to the hydration of cement, if sufficient amount of gypsum is added, fast cementation will not occur because gypsum by its presence reduces the solubility of tricalcium aluminate and thus slows down rapid reacti...

Successful examples of high–rise buildings in the world are obvious evidences that the use of high–strength concrete is nowadays reality in construction worldwide. Whether focus on high–rise buildings up to 15– 24 storeys, or the super tall high–rise buildings that are few hundred of storeys high, high–strength c...

Metallurgical coke, as a fuel and a reducing agent, also allows for the gas to go through a charge in the blast furnace. The coke must have a strength, porosity, reactivity and a uniform granulation, because reaction of CO2 at high temperatures in the furnace. There are various mathematical models for the optimization of coal blend, which allow the...

In recent decades, the interest in refractory materials which are formed without baking - by chemicalbonding - has increased significantly, as their production is less complex and more economical thanthe production of classical refractory materials, which involves a long baking process. In this work,as a chemical binder, phosphoric acid, which is i...

The regulations on air quality in Bosnia and Herzegovina are based on European Union regulations and they rely on defined limits for concentrations of certain pollutants. Although the law stipulates that the public must be informed on the quality of environmental parameters in a clear, simple and easily understandable manner, this is not the case i...

Urban environments are subject to various pollutions where, among other things, acoustic pollution. Consequently, the study of acoustic pollution is an issue that is addressed in several aspects: economic, political and scientific / research.In this paper we propose a simulation model through the Matlab / Simulink software that shows the effect of ...

The microscope has become a more common tool in the cement industry. Evaluation of clinker using microscopy is a powerful technique that can help improve clinker production and cement quality. The key to using the microscopy is understanding the process of clinker production namely how raw materials are transformed into clinker. These transformatio...

Clinker dust or cement kiln dust (CKD) is fine granulated material which generate during the thermal treatment of raw meal and during the clinker cooling process. By applying different methods in certain stages of the technological process it is possible to extract the mentioned dust. The chemical composition of the clinker dust depends on type and...
