摘要:
[Subject] To effectively utilize coal ash while reducing mercury concentration in cement kiln exhaust gas. [Means for Solution] Coal ash is received from a thermal power plant or the like; the received coal ash is separated into ash and unburned carbon; the separated ash is utilized in a cement manufacturing facility as a cement raw material; and the separated unburned carbon is utilized in the cement manufacturing facility in accordance with mercury concentration in gas exhausted from a cement kiln of the cement manufacturing facility. In case that the mercury concentration in the gas exhausted from the cement kiln of the cement manufacturing facility is high, in the coal ash, unburned carbon with high mercury content can be treated in facilities other than the cement manufacturing facility without feeding the unburned carbon to the cement manufacturing facility, or the quantity of such unburned carbon fed to the cement manufacturing facility cay be adjusted. It is possible to separate mercury from the separated unburned carbon, and utilize the unburned carbon from which mercury is separated in the cement manufacturing facility as a fuel.

[PROBLEMS] To effectively utilize coal ash while lowering the concentration of mercury in a gas discharged from a cement kiln. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] Coal ash from a thermal power plant or the like is received by a system for producing cement. The received coal ash is divided into ash and unburnt carbon. The ash thus divided is utilized as a material for cement in the system for producing cement, while the unburnt carbon thus divided is utilized in the system for producing cement depending on the concentration of mercury in a gas discharged from a cement kiln of the system for producing cement. In the case where gags discharged from the cement kiln of the system for producing cement contains mercury at a high concentration, it is possible that the unburnt carbon in the coal ash, which contains mercury localized therein, is not fed into the system for producing cement but processed outside the system for producing cement or the unburnt carbon is fed in a controlled amount into the system for producing cement. Mercury is removed form the thus separated unburnt carbon and the unburnt carbon, from which mercury has been removed, can be used as a fuel in the system for producing cement.
