Ceramic Industry Scientific Development and Environmental Protection

It has been reported that there are many objective factors in the attribution of debris flow disasters in Zhouqu, a mountainous area, such as Zhouqu, which is an area affected by the “5.12” massive earthquake; Zhouqu is a high-risk region for geological disasters; the impact of sudden rainstorms, etc. . However, on August 9th, at a special emergency meeting in Lanzhou, some experts who participated in the “Second China Ecological Civilization (Lazikou Forum)” reached a basic consensus: Ecological destruction is also an important cause of this debris flow disaster. One of them is human activity.

Here, we don't need to argue too much with who is blamed on nature or on human beings. The key is how to plan and implement the future development plan.

Some netizens said that the occurrence of mudslides in Zhouqu was mainly due to long-term rainfall, which made the soil soft. Of course, there was also a man-made reason: trees felled, resulting in soil erosion, etc., and it was natural to retaliate against humanity. People often see this as a natural disaster, but who has rethought what people have done to nature and the consequences of violation of natural laws? Many people attributed the cause to the vandalism of the local forest vegetation in Zhouqu. They pointed to the series of activities for the pursuit of GDP in the past 50 years, including human overexploitation, logging and deforestation, and the construction of dams and mines.

In history, there have been a number of historical sites that have been sought after by the descendants due to the damage to the ecological environment, or historical sites that have served the descendants. However, such stories are still repeating. Are we improving or are we backing?

As a resource and energy consuming industry, the ceramics industry has been criticized by the media because of the large amount of raw materials consumed. It is reported that in 2010, the energy consumption of China's building sanitary ceramics industry will reach 35 million tons, which is more than 1% of the country's total energy consumption, and the figures are astonishing. No wonder the vice president and secretary-general of the China Building Sanitary Ceramics Association, Yu Bin, said that because the ceramics industry is a resource-based, energy-based industry, the China Building Sanitary Ceramics Association does not advocate the export of large quantities of Chinese ceramics, considering the long-term interests of the country. In particular, a large number of low-cost exports. The Association opposes the low-cost export of ceramic products and requires companies to increase the added value of their products and not sell the "national land."

Therefore, protecting the environment is also the primary task of the industry. In addition, the pressure of energy conservation and emission reduction has increased in recent years, and the demand for low-carbon economy has risen. The non-renewable resources such as kaolin, clay, and black mud used in ceramic production are on the verge of depletion. If these porcelain materials are indispensable, what will we make ceramics in the future? For this reason, the thinning of tiles will be a key to the sustainable development of the industry. According to calculations, if ceramic tiles are thinned, they will save 4 million tons of standard coal energy a year, and if optimistic, they will exceed 6 million tons, and resources will reduce losses by 20 million tons.

Environmental protection and economic development are complementary and there are many cases in which the evidence is that the economic development that undermines the environment is unhealthy and unharmonious and cannot be sustained. The ceramic industry consumes a large amount of raw materials and mineral resources every year. If the measures for environmental protection cannot be effectively applied, the development of the industry is to kill chickens and take eggs, and to fish out.

Black Walnut Hardwood Flooring

Black walnut floors are an excellent choice. The dark, rich chocolate colors of the hardwood and the lighter-colored sapwood combine to create a flooring surface that is both versatile and sumptuous.
