This invention describes the use of a fluidized bed reactor in the carbonation of a solid, inorganic and alkaline particulate material which contains alkaline metal salts. It also describes a method for treating cement kiln dust (CKD) containing alkaline metal salts. The treatment method comprises two steps: (a) a hydration step; and (b) a carbonation step, wherein the carbonation step is carried out in a fluidized bed reactor. In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the treated CKD is used as an aggregate in sulfur polymer concrete (SPC). Accordingly, the present invention also provides a method for producing SPC, which method comprises heating and mixing treated CKD of the present invention, elemental sulfur and modified sulfur to produce a mixture. The SPC can be used as a barrier to restrict permeation of matter, e.g. in a containment construction for storing matter such as hazardous waste. |

A method and apparatus for removing purifying vaporizable contaminants such as mercury from a particulate material. Particulate material is first contacted with heated gases to vaporize the contaminants and entrain the material in the gases. The gases are directed to a first dust collector to remove the entrained particulates, after which a sorbent or chemical reagent is injected in the gases to interact with the contaminants and form a contaminant containing product that is entrained in the gases. The product is then separated from the gases in a second collector. |

An object of this invention is to provide an exhaust gas treatment method and system for a cement burning facility which allows the handling property of collected powder dust to be improved and which enables smooth removal of hydrogen chloride that may result from burning of organic sludge. When part of exhaust gas in a lowermost part of a preheater 3 or a kiln inlet part 2 of a cement kiln 1 is extracted to obtain extracted gas, a cement material is dispersed, and the disperse amount of the cement material is adjusted so as to maintain the temperature of the extracted gas between 950° C. and 1,150° C. The extracted gas is cooled to at most the melting point of a chlorine compound. Then, solid-gas separation device 12 adjusts a classification particle size to between 15 μm and 30 μm. Dust trap 13 collects and removes fine powder dust with a particle size equal to or smaller than the classification particle size. Thus, the amount of fine powder dust collected by the dust trap is maintained between 50 g/m3N and 150 g/m3N, with the concentration of chlorine in the collected fine powder dust set to between 5% and 20%. |

A process to make, in part, a refined material for use as crystallization accelerant in cementitious products. Evidence shows that calcium carbonate Fines (Ca+ ions) accelerate the crystallization process of CSH (Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate) phases which lends many advantages in cementitious products. The (PCC) fines materials from the sugar beet processing byproducts consist of these materials with various elements mixed or attached. This process selects for advantageous particles and discards others. This process includes, but is not limited to removing part of the undesirable material by either by screening or biodigestion of the lime to utilize energy contained in said unwanted material to dry in part said particles of PCC to specific moisture content and then screening the material to the remove more unwanted material and size PCC to spec necessary for cementitious materials. |

A method for the production of cement clinker comprises the introduction of non-traditional materials into the kiln, preferably at a mid-kiln locations. The non-traditional materials are materials that are difficult, expensive or environmentally challenging for disposal. In one embodiment, weathered clinker is introduced into the kiln to admix with the raw material mix to augment clinker production. In another embodiment, bird, animal or human manure is added to the kiln so that gaseous reducing agents can be released by the manure and combine with certain noxious gases generated during the clinker production, to thereby reduce the noxious gas output. In other embodiments, other non-traditional waste-derived fuels are added to the kiln during clinker production, including railroad ties coated with creosote, industrial, commercial and consumer rubber components, such as rubber hoses, unshredded plastics, and organic materials, such as bird and animal meal. |

Within the known Müller-Kühne process and a corresponding installation, a utilization of a great variety of residual materials can be achieved with optimum process control, both in regard to the production of a raw powder and the fuel, whereby this is made possible in particular in that the raw powder components and the fuel components also are, with respect to the residual materials being used, stored separately, conditioned, and then mixed according to the formulation under strict monitoring. The flue gas is used for preheating the raw powder by adding the cold raw powder to it. This simultaneously removes sticky components from the flue gas. The raw powder preheated in this manner, and also the raw powder or dust recovered in subsequent dedusters are returned to the rotary drum kiln, whereby the solid and other fuels are used and burned with a mutually supportive flame at the opposite end of the rotary drum kiln. |

The invention concerns a telescopic tube (10), in particular for sprinkler systems, comprising an outer tube (12) and an inner tube (14) which is movable relative to the latter and has an inner end piece (36) which extends inside the outer tube and has an outer diameter which is larger than the inner tube in their adjoining regions. The telescopic tube (10) further comprises a securing element (26) which surrounds the inner tube and is provided for the outer tube, the outer end (22) of the latter extending in said securing element (26). According to the invention, in order to provide a precise connection between the inner and outer tubes using precision screw machine parts in particular, the outer end (22) of the outer tube is widened and extends inside an annular mounting (24) of the securing element which in turn comprises an outer edge (34) which extends externally along the outer tube and is deformed in the direction of the outer end of the outer tube when the latter has been fitted in the mounting. |

A process of treating spent potliner material from aluminum reduction cells and recovering useful products. In the process of the present invention, spent potliner material is introduced into an acid digester containing, for example, sulfuric acid. As a result of this step, a gas component is produced which includes hydrogen fluoride, silicon tetrafluoride and hydrogen cyanide. Also, a slurry component is produced which includes carbon, a refractory material including silica, alumina, sodium compounds such as sodium sulfate, aluminum compounds such as aluminum sulfate, iron compounds such as iron sulfate, magnesium and calcium compounds such as magnesium and calcium sulfate. The slurry component remains in the digester after the gas component is removed. The gas component is recovered and heated an effective amount to convert or decompose the silicon tetrafluoride to fumed silica, hydrogen cyanide to a remaining gas component including CO.sub.2, H.sub.2 O, and nitrogen oxides, as well as HF gas. The remaining gas component is directed through a water scrubber in which the HF gas is converted to liquid hydrofluoric acid. The hydrofluoric acid is then admixed with alumina trihydrate to form aluminum fluoride (a commercially useful end product) and water. |

Cement is produced by forming a moist mixture of a flue gas desulfurization process waste product containing 80-95 percent by weight calcium sulfite hemihydrate and 5-20 percent by weight calcium sulfate hemihydrate, aluminum, iron, silica and carbon, agglomerating the moist mixture while drying the same to form a feedstock, and calcining the dry agglomerated feedstock in a rotary kiln. Sulfur dioxide released from the calcium sulfite hemihydrate and calcium sulfate hemihydrate during calcination may be used to produce sulfuric acid, while heat recovered in the process is used to dry the agglomerating feedstock. |
