China, as the world’s largest cement producer, accounts for more than 60% of global cement production. With the continuous development of the Chinese economy, resource and environmental constraints are becoming increasingly serious, and energy saving and emission reduction has become one of the choices with which all industries are faced in the process of development. The cement industry is one...

In recent years, inventory management is continuous challenge for all organizations not only due to heavy cost associated with inventory holding, but also it has a great deal to do with the organizations production process. Cement industry is a growing sector of Pakistan's economy which is now facing problems in capacity utilization of their plants. This study attempts to identify the key strat...

The cement industry is a capital intensive, energy consuming, and vital industry for sustaining infrastructure of nations. The international cement market –while constituting a small share of world industry output—has been growing at an increasing rate relative to local production in recent years. Attempts to protect the environment in developed countries –especially Europe—have caused cement p...

Calcium carbonate and calcium-magnesium carbonate in the form of limestone, dolomite, marl, chalk, and Oyster shell are one of the most widely utilized non-metallic materials in the industrial world. The largest use of limestone or calcium carbonate is in the cement industry where it is used as a source of CaO and also in the concrete industry where it is used as the primary coarse aggregate. F...

Variations exist in the manual preparationand delivery of cement during primary total hip arthroplasty. The incorporation of a power source may standardize cement mantle manufacturing. This study prospectively compared the use of a new power-operated polymethylmethacrylate vacuum mixing and delivery system to a commonly used manually powered industry standard. The study did not reveal a signifi...

Cement manufacturing industry is one of the carbon dioxide emitting sources besides deforestation and burning of fossil fuels. The global warming is caused by the emission of green house gases, such as CO2, to the atmosphere. Among the greenhouse gases,CO2 contributes about 65% of global warming. The global cement industry contributes about 7% of greenhouse gas emission to the earth’s atmospher...

Direct emissions of air pollutants from the cement industry in China were estimated by developing a technology-based methodology using information on the proportion of cement produced from different types of kilns and the emission standards for the Chinese cement industry. Historical emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM) and carb...
