Optimising biomass ash to reduce the environmental impact of glass manufacture (EnviroGlass 2)

“该项目由GTS领导，由英国玻璃公司（代表英国8家主要的平板和容器玻璃制造商）和谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学（SHU）支持，与Ashwell生物质、Templeborough生物质发电厂、动力矿物和玻璃厂服务公司建立了一个新的联盟。该项目首次将三个工业部门（玻璃、陶瓷、生物质能）聚集在一起，开发新的原材料，以生产更经济、更高效、更低排放的玻璃和陶瓷。该项目基于IUK能源催化剂可行性研究（IUK: 132334）“EnviroGlass熔融”的成果，该研究评估了一系列废物作为玻璃制造中潜在的新原材料，以降低熔融温度、二氧化碳排放和成本。这里提出的项目建立在这些发现的基础上，以解决所确定的挑战，开发新的原材料，并证明玻璃（TRL=7）和陶瓷（TRL=3-4）行业的适用性，以提高生产率和降低：(i)能源需求（高达10%）（ii）原材料成本（高达10%）（iii）英国垃圾填埋场（高达75kT/年）“

"This project, led by GTS and supported by British Glass (representing the 8 main UK flat and container glass manufacturers) and Sheffield Hallam University (SHU), creates a new consortium with Ashwell Biomass, Templeborough Biomass Power Plant, Power Minerals and Glassworks Services. The project brings together three industrial sectors (Glass, Ceramics, Biomass Energy) for the first time to develop new raw materials for the manufacture of more economical, more efficient, lower-emission glasses and ceramics.This project builds upon the outputs from IUK Energy Catalyst Feasibility Study (IUK: 132334) 'EnviroGlass Melting', which assessed a range of wastes as potential new raw materials in glass manufacture to reduce melting temperatures, CO2 emissions and costs. The project proposed here builds upon these findings to address the challenges identified, developing new raw materials and demonstrating suitability for glass (TRL=7) and ceramics (TRL=3-4) industries to improve productivity and reduce:(i) Energy requirements (up to 10%)(ii) Raw materials costs (up to 10%)(iii) UK-landfill (up to 75kT/yr)"
