“…Aparte de CO2, la industria del cemento genera también, entre otros, emisiones de monóxido de carbono y metales pesados [8]. Actividades como la minería y procesos industriales, son la principal fuente de contaminación por metales pesados [9]. Las cantidades de la formación fotoquímica de ozono, metales pesados y cancerígenos debidos a la producción de cemento, dependen altamente de los combustibles y materia prima utilizados; siendo fuentes principales los procesos de producción de energía como la producción de electricidad y el refinamiento de combustibles [10].…”

“…Las cantidades de la formación fotoquímica de ozono, metales pesados y cancerígenos debidos a la producción de cemento, dependen altamente de los combustibles y materia prima utilizados; siendo fuentes principales los procesos de producción de energía como la producción de electricidad y el refinamiento de combustibles [10]. El impacto principal de la producción de cemento sobre la calidad de los suelos viene de: la minería intensiva, el manejo de los desechos, el almacenamiento de distintos tipos de materiales y deposición atmosférica [9]. La acidificación es principalmente causada por las emisiones de NOx y SO2, y depende principalmente en el contenido de clínker del cemento.…”

“…elementos traza debido a la manufactura de cemento fueron evaluados por Al-Dadi y se encontró que los niveles de estos elementos traza presentan grandes rangos de valores, mientras que los niveles de NORM dependen de las minas de origen de la materia prima[9].Las emisiones de CO2 son la principal causa del efecto invernadero relacionado con la producción de cemento, representando entre el 98.8 y 100% de su totalidad. Otros gases como el CH4 y NO2 tienen una menor influencia a pesar de tener factores de caracterización mayores[10].Los factores que inducen cambios en el efecto invernadero relacionado a la producción de cemento fueron identificados por Wang y otros y son los siguientes: factor de efecto de emisión de energía, de efecto de estructura de energía, efecto de intensidad, efecto de la actividad de producción de cemento y efecto de la actividad de producción de clínker[11].…”

The concern regarding the impact of the greenhouse gas emissions has been increasing in the last years due to the increasing global warming awareness. Several studies regarding life cycle inventories of cement production have been carried on around the world, but Ecuador still does not count with a comprehensive life cycle inventory of their cement production. Due to the local origin of the raw materials of cement production, is mandatory to elaborate a Life Cycle Assessment LCA for the specific geologic, industrial and environmental conditions of the country. This study defines the goal and scope for the elaboration of a LCA of the cement production in Ecuador based on the ISO14040-14044 guidelines. The functional unit, the system limits, the impact categories and the data quality are described.

Non-nuclear industries use raw materials containing significant levels of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM). The processing of these materials may expose workers engaged in or even people living near such sites to technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material (TENORM) above the natural background. Inductively coupled plasma and gamma ray spectrometry have been used to determine major and trace elements and radionuclide concentrations in various samples, respectively, in order to investigate the environmental impact of coal mining and cement plant in North Sinai, Egypt. Generally, very little attention was directed to the large volumes of waste generated by either type of industrial activities. Different samples were analyzed including various raw materials, coal, charcoal, Portland and white cement, sludge, and wastes. Coal mine and cement plant workers dealing with waste and kaolin, respectively, are subjected to a relatively high annual effective dose. One of the important finding is the enhancement of all measured elements and radionuclides in the sludge found in coal mine. It may pose an environmental threat because of its large volume and its use as combustion material. The mine environment may have constituted Al, Fe, Cr, and V pollution source for the local area. Higher concentration of Al, Fe, Mn, B, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Sr, V, and TENORM were found in Portland cement and Zn in white cement. Coal has higher concentrations of Al, Fe, B, Co, Cr, and V as well as (226)Ra and (232)Th. The compiled results from the present study and different worldwide investigations demonstrate the obvious unrealistic ranges normally used for (226)Ra and (232)Th activity concentrations in coal and provided ranges for coal, Portland and white cement, gypsum, and limestone.
