Let Me Introduce The Environmental Issues Related To Glass Manufacturing, Including The Following 3 Points:
1. atmospheric emissions
2. wastewater
3. solid waste
Air Emissions
Glass manufacturing is a high-temperature, energy-intensive production activity that produces combustion by-products (sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen monoxide) and oxidizes atmospheric nitrogen at high temperatures.
) and oxidizes atmospheric nitrogen at high temperatures. Kiln emissions also contain particulate matter (PM) and may contain
small amounts of metals. Atmospheric emissions from melting kilns account for 80% to 90% of the total emissions from glass manufacturing plants. Glass molding
stage and finish stage emissions are associated with all types of glass manufacturing processes.
Wastewater
The largest uses of water are in cooling and waste glass washing. Wastewater discharges include wastewater from contact water cooling systems, washing water, and surface water runoff.
washing water, and surface water runoff. Sealed water treatment systems should be used to minimize water losses. Compared to other industries, glass manufacturing produces
The liquid discharge from glass manufacturing is small compared to other industries and is limited to specific processes (e.g., hot-melt quenching and water-cooled shearing).
Cold shearing). Substances that can contaminate wastewater include solid glass and some soluble glassmaking materials (e.g., sodium sulfate), lubricants used in the cutting process containing
The substances that can contaminate wastewater include solid glass and some soluble glassmaking materials (e.g., sodium sulfate), some organics in the lubricants used in the cutting process, and water treatment agents for water-cooled systems (e.g., dissolved salts and water treatment agents).
Particulate Matter
Particulate matter is the primary pollutant emitted from glass manufacturing equipment. All subsectors of glass manufacturing require the use of powdery, granular
or dusty raw materials. Raw material storage and blending are frequent activities for all subsectors of the glass manufacturing industry. The transportation, handling, storage
Transportation, handling, storage and mixing of raw materials can result in dust emissions.
Our Glass Factories Make Every Effort To Minimize The Environmental Impact Of The Glass Bottle Manufacturing Process Through A Series Of Measures, As Follows:
1. using waste glass as feedstock wherever possible;
2. recycling of waste refractory materials for use in brick making (this technology does not affect the quality of the final product);
3. replacing refractory bricks every 6 to 12 years (proper recycling of these materials is also a pollution prevention measure when kilns/first kiln beds are rebuilt and repaired).
(proper recycling of these materials when rebuilding and repairing the kiln/pre-kiln bed is also a pollution prevention measure);
4. reusing collected dust in the mix if color requirements allow.
We aim to produce high-quality glass bottles while minimizing environmental pollution and making a small contribution to the ecology of our planet.
