„„ RHI Magnesita

Sustainability plays a key role in the cement industry. In the past years, RHI Magnesita’s 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, the company 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 stateof-the-art product has now first been used in a pilot project with RHI Magnesita’s cus-

tomer LafargeHolcim in Mannersdorf (Austria). LC stands for low carbon and refers to the significantly lower CO2 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 research team took up the challenge, updated the technical methods for reusing these precious recycled materials and created intellectual property including the filing of patents. The company adopted its process and organizational setup accordingly, and now also invests in the installation of new environmental equipment in its plants to make

First Use of Low Carbon Technology in Pilot Projects

In February, the LafargeHolcim plant in Mannersdorf, Austria, was the first to install the recycled 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.

them fit for the future. The new exhaust gas cleaning system at the RHI Magnesita plant in Ve-

itsch, for example, sets new standards in environmental protection.
