TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a literature review of alternative fuels and materials in the cement industry for the planning and promotion of different methods that can decrease the environmental impacts, lower the consumption of energy and material resources, and reduce the economic costs of this industry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the environmental impact of using electric arc furnace slags as secondary raw material in pavement and its comparison with the traditional materials used in road construction was analyzed by using the Life Cycle Assessment methodology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the incorporation of Ladle Furnace slag into the raw meal for Portland cement production was investigated, and the results of chemical and mineralogical analyses showed that using Ladle furnace slag to produce Portland cement did not negatively affect the mineralogical characteristics.

TL;DR: In this article, a heat transfer model simulation is established to determine an appropriate design based on mass and energy conservation equations, and the thermal performance is analyzed for the melting and solidification processes, the phase transition and its influence on heat transference.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cooling system of a 2kW air-forced open-cathode PEM fuel cell stack has been designed based on the prediction of the air flow calculated by means of a theoretical model that includes both the electrochemical behavior, and the heat and mass transfer processes as a function of the power output.
