Dr. Richard Riman - Greening of Ceramic Manufacturing

This presentation introduces the audience to the world of ceramics and their methods
of manufacture. Unfortunately, ceramic manufacturing is far from being a green process
due to the energy required for drying and firing and resultant carbon dioxide greenhouse
gases. The concern about global warming has future legislation focused on reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed legislation will have profound impact on the
economic stability of ceramics industries unless actions are taken to address these
environmental problems. This seminar will summarize some of the green ceramic
manufacturing activities ongoing worldwide that seek to address these issues.

Professor Richard Riman received his B.S. degree in Ceramic Engineering from Rutgers
University. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in
Materials Science and Engineering. He has been at Rutgers for 22 years and is currently a
tenured full professor teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. He is a
2009 recipient of a Rutgers University Board of Trustees Excellence in Research Award.
