  • Abstract
    The sources of SO2 and NOx in a portland cement kiln system are identified. A brief discussion of several known and theoretical control methods for cement plants for SO2 and NOx are presented. The US portland cement industry is shown to be a minor contributor to atmospheric contamination by SO2 and NOx. The anticipated need and/or requirement for continuous monitoring of SO2 and NOx emissions is discussed. The political climate for regulation of SO2 and NO x is examined. Consideration is given to an emerging environmental issue, the greenhouse effect, to which the carbon dioxide emissions of cement plants may contribute
