Production of cement envelopes using mineral paper
In order to save the environment and save money, researchers at Jahad University of Mineral Processing Research Institute have been able to produce and optimize cement envelopes using mineral paper.
According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, in order to save the environment and save money, researchers at Tarbiat Modares University's Jihad Mineral Processing Research Institute have been able to produce and optimize cement envelopes using mineral paper.
Dr Mehdi Eskandari, a member of the Institute for Mineral Processing Research and Executor of the project, stated that most cement companies in the country are currently using polypropylene polymeric materials for packaging cement, said: These polymeric envelopes are irreversible to the environment and It will take thousands of years to return to nature.
"These envelopes are cheaper than propylene envelopes," he said, adding that the new envelopes use about seventy to eighty percent of the natural stone powder and are abundant in nature, including our country, adding that they are cheaper.
"Seventy to eighty percent of the envelopes are stone powder and less polymer is used and environmental problems are much less than polymer cement envelopes," Eskandari said.
The benefits of this process are that the process does not require any water, and if the product is commercialized by the Jihad-e Tabriz University, these envelopes can be replaced by conventional envelopes.
The research was conducted in collaboration with Safa Shahr Stone Minerals Cooperative and Mineral Processing Research Institute, according to the university's public relations department.
