Natural radioactivity is responsible for most of the total radiation dose received by human population. Geological materials used in building industry usually become contaminated with naturally occurring radioactive materials. They are used as mixtures in building industry (kaolin, zircon, frit, feldspar) or mechanically processed and used for covering floors and walls of the rooms (granite). I...

The Research Group for Automation of the Central Research and Design Institute for Silicate Industry (CRDISI) has been working for some years on the automation of technological processes in the silicate industry, in cooperation with the Department of Automation of the Technical University of Budapest (DATU). CRDISI yields the technological background, provides for the hardware tools and the bas...

Introduction: The present study investigated the relatively high concentrations of natural radionuclides in raw material that used in ceramic manufacturing, and estimated the occupational exposure due to these activity concentrations. Material and Methods: A high-purity Germanium detector was used to determine naturally occurring radionuclide...

Ceramic tile manufacturing is a highly energy-intensive process. Concerns about carbon emissions and energy costs make management crucial for this sector, which holds leading role in Italian industry. The paper discusses the energetic environmental performance of cogeneration (CHP) ceramic industry, where prime mover exhaust heat supplied to spray-dryer system, contributing satisfaction thermal...

Taking into account the issues associated with climate change and reliance on external sources of energy, among others, European Union its commission have developed a strategy for transitioning to climate-neutral economy by 2050. In this sense, wide-ranging package was adopted ensure EU meets energy targets years 2020, 2030, Hence, efficiency is key principle Union, as saving development new re...
