Figure 1: Brick making process 1.2 Firing process in the kilns Firing is the last operation in brick making process. Green bricks are fired in the kilns to convert a fairly loosely compacted blend of different minerals into a strong, hard, and stable product i.e. fired brick. The firing process determines the properties of the fired brick —
اقرأ أكثرThe total carbon dioxide emission from the German brick industry is about 1,73 million tons per year [1]. Approximately 56 % of the total emission is due to the combustion of natural gas in the tunnel kiln and dryer. The ratio of the total fuel usage in a brick factory between the tunnel kiln and dryer is 60:40.

اقرأ أكثرIn continuous kilns, the fire is always burning, and bricks are warmed, fired, and cooled simultaneously in different parts of the kiln. Because of their heat recovery, continuous kilns such as Hoffman, fixed chimney bull's trench, zigzag, vertical shaft brick (VSBK), and tunnel kilns are more energy-efficient (Weyant et al. 2016).
