Ceramics Subfile captures complete worldwide information about ceramics -- increasingly becoming the material of choice for high temperature applications, erosive environments, biomedical applications, and other areas where their hardness and corrosion resistance are needed. Ceramics Subfile, providing a central source of information on structural ceramics, is a subset of the Engineered Materials Abstracts database . Based on the print journal of the same name, the EMA database is specifically designed for libraries that serve materials sciences researchers, engineers and scientists.
Sources covered include over 3,000 periodicals, conference proceedings, technical reports, trade journal/newsletter items, patents, books, and press releases.

Abstract
Fluorine emissions from manufacturing operations of traditional
ceramics have been recognized as an environmental problem
throughout the world for the last decade. The emissions arise
from the ocurrence of Fl substituted in the crystal structure
o clays and other sheet silicate minerals. On dehydroxylation
above approx 500 deg C, Fl is evolved. There is a significant
body of technology on Fl emissions developed in Germany and
elsewhere because regulations on emissions were implemented
in other countries prior to the current implementation process
in the US. The next decade will include finalizing the Fl
emission regulations with respect to permitting, compliance
monitoring methodology, and maximum achievable control technology
(MACT) criteria affecting the traditional ceramic industries.
A window of only about three years duration exists for the
ceramic industry to affect regulations. The regulations will
be costly in terms of preparing permit applications, capital
costs for scrubbers, and test fees or equipment and equipment
operation for compliance monitoring. It is the option of the
ceramic industry to be proactive and try to influence the
regulations or to be passive and to bear the maximum future
costs. |
