| dc.description.abstract | The cement industry is a strategic industry because it is directly related to construction and reconstruction. Cement is used as a hydraulic bonding material from mortar or concrete components. Cement factories are usually established near the quarries of the clay and limestone in order to reduce the cost of transporting raw materials. Contaminants produced by cement plants differ in terms of components and quantity, depending on the different operating processes from one plant to another, hygiene procedures and other factors. This study scrutinizes the environmental impact due to cement production process in Libya. A case study of Lebda Cement Plant revealed that the production adopted the dry process, which includes supply of raw materials, clinker burning and grinding process..This study investigates the quantities of emissions from the cement industry, including the quantities of gases out of the chimneys and also the amounts of dust. This study also discusses the noise generated by the cement industry from its stages and its impact on workers. | en_US |
