In the past years, RHI Magnesita\u2019s cement business unit has worked on ambitious sustainability initiatives and put great efforts into enabling the reduction of emissions. Now, as a result of years of development work, RHI Magnesita can actively support its customers in the cement industry in reducing emissions during production processes.The ANKRAL LC, an innovative product from RHI Magnesita, impresses by its sustainable production method, which enables production with particularly low CO2 emissions. This special feature is the first ever use of new recycling solutions, which allow reuse of recycled materials without compromising technical requirements and specifications. This state-of-the-art product has now first been used in a pilot project with RHI Magnesita\u2019s customer LafargeHolcim in Mannersdorf (Austria).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LC stands for low carbon and refers to the significantly lower CO<sub>2<\/sub> footprint compared to conventional products. This is mainly achieved by using secondary recycled materials from rotary cement kilns. These were previously considered unsuitable for further use in the production process of magnesite bricks, because in most cases they contain a high amount of infiltrated salts which have a negative effect on the properties of the bricks. Yet the RHI Magnesita research team took up the challenge, revolutionized the technical methods for reusing these precious recycled materials and created significant intellectual property including the filing of patents. RHI Magnesita adopted its process and organizational setup accordingly, and now also invests in the installation of new environmental equipment in its plants to make them fit for the future. The new exhaust gas cleaning system at the RHI Magnesita plant in Veitsch, for example, sets new standards in environmental protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter successful trials and production of our sustainable technology, RHI Magnesita is now ready for the market launch of the ANKRAL LC series,\u201d says Heinz Telser, Head of Technical Marketing &amp; Innovation at RHI Magnesita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pilot project between LafargeHolcim and RHI Magnesita in Mannersdorf<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February, the LafargeHolcim plant in Mannersdorf, Austria, was the first to install the ANKRAL Q2 LC bricks from RHI Magnesita in its rotary kiln, followed by further installations at other LafargeHolcim plants in Austria and Switzerland to minimize waste and maximize use of recycled material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are very proud and grateful for this successful cooperation between LafargeHolcim and RHI Magnesita in these pilot projects,\u201d elaborates Dr. Christopher Ehrenberg, plant manager of Lafarge Zementwerk Mannersdorf. \u201cTogether we want to continue on our path towards sustainability in order to reduce CO<sub>2<\/sub>emissions throughout the supply chain\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sustainable through recycling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increased use of recycled materials contributes to securing stocks in the long term by reducing cost-intensive recycled material procurement and sustainably improving the ecological footprint and environmental balance of RHI Magnesita by reducing CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions. When dismantling facilities, the company ensures that the recovered recycled materials are recycled, following the zero-waste concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rhimagnesita.com\/sustainability-rocks-rhi-magnesita-presents-the-ankral-lc-series\/\">RHI Magnesita<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: RHI Magnesita<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First use of the ANKRAL low carbon technology in pilot projects with LafargeHolcim in Austria and Switzerland: Sustainability plays a key role in the cement industry.
