Yesterday, with a loud bang, the nearly 40-meter-high chimney of the first round of kiln factory in Xiadian, Shuangdun Town, Changfeng County was blasted to the ground. This is the first small wheel kiln eliminated in the county this year, and the original land will be replaced with Shuangfeng Development Zone. So far, Hefei is away from the city's goal of eliminating only 56 small wheel kilns with under 18 doors this year, and 37 remaining have not been completed.

　　"If any county fails to complete the elimination task before the end of this year, it will be punished in strict accordance with the city's energy conservation and emission reduction target responsibility letter." The relevant person in charge of the Hefei City Wall Reform Office said that the provincial government listed the elimination of small wheel kilns with less than 18 doors. As the main content of Hefei's energy conservation and emission reduction assessment this year, despite the arduous task, the implementation of this target is not allowed to be discounted.

　　It is understood that, in accordance with the requirements of the National Development and Reform Commission and other ministries and commissions for energy conservation and emission reduction, Hefei City has launched a full-scale elimination of small wheel kilns under 18 since September 2007. Up to now, 103 small wheel kilns in the city have been eliminated, and the urban area was completely eliminated at the end of June last year. Among the remaining 37, there are 17 in Feidong County, 15 in Feixi County and 5 in Changfeng County.

　　Zhang Dongqi, the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Wall Reform Office, introduced that small wheel kilns below 18 doors are small in scale, high energy consumption, insufficient combustion in the firing process, and product quality cannot be guaranteed. At the same time, most of the small wheel kilns produce solid clay bricks, which causes damage to farmland. The damage is serious. At present, its products have been expressly prohibited from being used in the process of urban construction, and they have been replaced by new energy-saving and environmentally-friendly wall materials.
