RENO, M.L.G; SILVA, R.j  y  BELATO, M.N. Exergy analysis of the clinker production applying scrap tires as fuel. Lat. Am. appl. res. [online]. 2013, vol.43, n.2, pp.193-197. ISSN 0327-0793.

The finite nature of global fossil fuel resources, high prices and most importantly, their damaging effect on the environment underscore the need to develop alternatives for industrial systems include the cement production process. This industry is classified as energy intensive consumption, so the application of the alternative fuels in cement production can extend fossil fuel supplies and help resolve air pollution problems associated with the use of conventional fuels. This paper proposed to analyze the clinker production from energy and exergy view point, applying the alternative fuel scrap tires with aim of reducing the fossil fuel consumption. The results achieved energy efficiency of 75%, exergy efficiency of 37% with the main irreversibility source provider of rotary kiln
