Cement
Manufacturing
(a) Ohio Cement
Plant Looks to Wind Power
Workers broke ground for a
One Energy wind project at LafargeHolcim’s Paulding cement plant in Ohio. The
three turbines being built by the Findlay-based energy company will supply
about one-fifth of the cement plant’s electricity needs. They should also
eliminate more than 9,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

(b) Entsorga
Leverages MBT to Make Renewable Fuel for Cement Plant
Through mechanical
biological treatment (MBT) process, organics and non-organics (like plastics
and paper) will be blended with compost materials to make a solid recovered
fuel (SRF), after removing metals. It is a fluffy paper mixture that will be
used as a supplement for coal. Read more.
Concrete, Mineral and Chemical Admixtures
(a) Concrete Slabs
for Quick Highway Repairs
MTO—The Ontario Ministry of
Transportation has experienced success in its trials where precast concrete
slabs were used to repair road pavements. Though the slabs cost more, savings
are found in reduced traffic disruption and extended pavement life. A pilot
using concrete slabs was done on a northbound section of Highway 400 in 2016.

Books
(a) Mineral
Admixtures in Cement and Concrete, Author: Jayant D. Bapat, CRC Press, Taylor
& Francis Group
Written
for engineers, this book focuses on how to make more workable and durable
concrete using mineral admixtures. For each mineral admixture, the book looks
at manufacturing and processing, physical characteristics, chemical and
mineralogical composition, quality control, and reported experiences. It also
examines the provisions of national standards on the admixture’s addition to
cement and concrete. Offering a deeper understanding of mineral admixtures, it
encourages engineers to more effectively use these and other wastes in cement
and concrete to support more sustainable growth of the cement and construction
industry. Read More.
(b) Blissful Souls All Of Us: Author: Dr Jayant D Bapat:
Publisher: CreateSpace, USA.
The Book is a
result of author's quest to remain happy forever. It focuses on
self-improvement through meditation. The real and original nature of self,
common to all human beings, is empathic, pure and joyful. However, that ‘self’
has deviated considerably from its original nature. Meditation is a time-tested
tool to reach the original nature of self. Like exercise is for the body,
meditation is for the mind. Practice controlled breathing or pranayam to assist
meditation. The book gives helpful tips to practice meditation for
self-improvement. Blissful experiences gained during meditation are useful
resolving conflicts, reducing stress, building durable personal relationships
and recording improved performance at the work. Meditation and controlled breathing
balance the intelligence. The exercise teaches to take a holistic view of life
and life’s problems. Book is available in both print and Kindle version. Visit
the link to buy/review the book.
