Here we see a PhD student from the construction materials lab synthesizing clinker. In this process the temperature of the furnace is around 1500 °C and she is wearing the safety equipment that includes high temperature resistant gloves and helmet, safety shoes, welding glasses, lab coat and chest protection. To take out the samples from inside the furnace, a long tong is used and the crucibles are taken out one by one. We can observe that the first one is out with a red-hot material, clinker.
Warming to reduce global warming is because the main goal of these syntheses is to find a solution for the environmental impact of cement industry, which represents the 5-8% of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
