Evaluation of the Potential Use of Waste Tires as Supplementary Fuel in Jordan Cement Industry
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY - Year 2015, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
Although scrap tires can cause serious environmental problems, their use as an energy source in cement industry could save considerable amounts of money. The total generated scrap tires in Jordan is estimated to be 7,862,968 per year. The elemental analysis showed that 81% of waste tires was carbon and the average of the measured lower heating value was 33845 kj/kg. Â Jordan has seven cement factories that produce about 14.1 million tons of cement and consume about 987000 tons of crude oil which costs about 661 million dollars. The study analyzed the use of waste tires as supplementary fuel in cement industry in Jordan. Results showed that savings could reach 6.29 million dollars if we used 20% of the generated waste tires per year in cement industry and 31.43 if the whole generated waste tires (100%) was used in cement industry.Â
