As the transformation and upgrading of the ceramic industry further deepens, the use of ammonia fuel has also become an important measure for the industry to improve production and implement energy conservation and carbon reduction goals.
Southern+ reporters learned that in conjunction with this new trend, the Guangdong Ceramics Association organized the preparation of the world's first ammonia fuel application standard for the ceramic industry "Ammonia Fuel Application Specification for the Ceramic Industry" and presented it at a group standard review meeting held in Foshan a few days ago. , approved by the expert committee.
As a chemical product produced on a large scale, ammonia is not only the main raw material for fertilizers, but also used as industrial fuel. It has the advantages of zero carbon emissions and high energy density. As a carbon-free clean fuel, ammonia is also an important means to solve the global carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions caused by the burning of fossil fuels. It is of great significance to the building materials, thermal power and other industries to achieve carbon reduction goals.
However, before this, except for marine ammonia fuel standards, ammonia fuel-related standards in other fields were still blank. Therefore, the standard for the use of ammonia fuel in the ceramic production field is formulated to standardize the use of ammonia fuel in the ceramic industry, ensure production safety, improve energy utilization efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, promote the sustainable development of the ceramic industry, and achieve my country's carbon peak and carbon neutrality. and goals are significant.
Southern+ reporter learned that the "Ceramic Industry Ammonia Fuel Application Specifications" stipulates the scope of application of ammonia fuel in the ceramic industry, combustion devices and combustion operations, storage and in-plant transportation, safety and emergency management, environmental protection, etc. requirements, technical indicators are set reasonably and are highly operable.
The review expert committee believes that the standard preparation has sufficient research and research, detailed data, fully embodies and accurately grasps the application characteristics of ammonia fuel, and enables the ceramic industry to apply ammonia fuel to achieve efficient combustion, safety, environmental protection and carbon reduction, as well as stabilize product quality. Provide support. This standard is the first established ammonia fuel application standard in the ceramic industry, filling a domestic gap. It is advanced, scientific and practical, and has reached the domestic advanced level.
"Ammonia, as a fuel for the ceramic industry, is the first of its kind in China and even the world. From testing to promotion and application, it is very difficult. As a high-energy-consuming industry, the ceramic industry must do work in the context of the current dual-carbon goals. , is an issue related to the survival of the industry," said Chen Huan, president of the Guangdong Ceramics Association.
In Guangdong, the ceramic industry has started practice on the application of ammonia fuel. Foshan Xianhu Laboratory, together with Foshan Delitai Technology Co., Ltd., Foshan Oceano Ceramics Co., Ltd., etc., took the lead in the world to achieve stable firing of zero-carbon ceramic tiles in the ammonia fuel combustion test production line. On this basis, it joined forces with Mona Lisa Group Co., Ltd. has built the world's first full-scale complete production line for ceramic large plate firing that can be burned with all ammonia zero-carbon fuel or mixed with natural gas fuel. It will be used as a model project for the stable production of low-carbon high-quality ceramic products for technology promotion and application.

Chen Huan said that the application of ammonia fuel needs to continue to be explored, promoted and implemented in large-scale production and application in the future. "We previously paid more attention to efficient combustion, and we also need to pay special attention to safety production and other aspects. Next, we will implement modifications and improvements according to the opinions put forward by the review experts to accelerate further industrialization pilots."
