    Carpet as a Fuel in Cement Kilns
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003-05-12) Realff, Matthew J. ; Mulholland, James A. ; Lemieux, Paul
    The use of carpet in cement kilns is a potential mechanism to build infrastructure for carpet recycling at a large scale. This presentation describes trials that were done at the EPA test kiln at Research Triangle Park. The trials focused on assessing the NO emissions and any associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), or other products of incomplete combustion (PIC) emissions from burning Nylon 66 carpet. Preliminary analysis of the results showed that the conversion of nitrogen in the carpet to NO was only about 4-8% of the nitrogen content. There was only minimal increase in the emissions of benzene, PAHs, and other PICs. No mercury was detected from the combustion of the carpeting.

    Update on Carpet As an Alternative Fuel for Cement Kilns
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002-05-13) Realff, Matthew J. ; Clark, James L. ; Cook, Fred L.
    Cement kilns have a tremendous appetite for energy. Carpet has a relatively high value of energy content due to its high fraction of polymer material, and its calcium carbonate filler is a feed for cement kilns. This talk will focus on the progress that has been made towards solving the technical and economic issues surrounding the use of carpet as fuel for cement kilns as part of a regional system for recycling carpet.

    LCA Analysis of Carpeting - a Discussion of Challenges, Progress and Future Directions
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002-05-13) Realff, Matthew J.
    LCA is a maturing area and tools exist for evaluating the environmental and economic performance of many products - including carpet. When the reverse component of the life cycle of carpet is incorporated into the analysis the options and evaluation becomes more complex. A discussion of the BEES tool and the implications for establishing standards around the LCA for carpet will be moderated by the speaker.
