As one of the activities of the 13th Tangshan China Taobao Fair, the 2010 academic annual meeting of China Ceramic Society of the Silicate Society was held on the 27th. Participating experts generally believe that the current energy-saving emission reduction is an important task facing the ceramic industry. It is imperative that low-carbon environmental protection technologies be popularized and applied in the ceramic industry.
According to reports, the ceramic industry is one of the "big consumers of energy" in China's industrial production. The energy consumption of burning kilns also accounts for more than 50% of the total energy consumption of the industry. If the energy consumption of drying equipment is added, it will account for 80 percent. More than %, but also caused serious environmental pollution. Experts suggest that the use of pulverized coal combustion technology, high-temperature and low-oxygen combustion technology, ceramic tile thinning technology, etc. to achieve the technical upgrading of the ceramic industry, saving raw materials, energy, transport capacity and space, reduce carbon dioxide and other pollutant emissions.
Experts at the meeting pointed out that China is currently the world’s largest ceramic tile producer, consumer, and exporter. In 2009, the country’s output of building ceramic tiles exceeded 6.4 billion square meters, accounting for 60% of the world’s total output, and exported 685 million square meters. More than 40% of the total global ceramic tile trade. In 2010, the output of building ceramic tiles in China will exceed 7 billion square meters. To maintain such a high output, about 200 million tons of high-quality clay material will be consumed each year, more than 30 million tons of high-quality coal will be burned, and large amounts of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust will be emitted. If the ceramic tile is reduced or reduced by 10% on the existing basis, the consumption of high-quality ceramic resources in the industry will decrease by nearly 20 million tons per year, reduce the consumption of high-quality coal by more than 4 million tons, and save a lot of transportation and logistics. Costs, while significantly reducing the company's production costs, resulting in annual social and economic benefits will reach tens of billions of dollars.
