Abstract:
The concrete composition includes, in a mixture with water, a hydraulic binder, sand and aggregates, wherein the hydraulic binder includes a Portland cement of high reactivity, and the hydraulic binder is present in an amount of 280-340 kg per cubic meter of concrete, a shrinkage reducing admixture is present in an amount of 0-4 L per cubic meter of concrete, and water is present in an amount of 140-160 L per cubic meter of concrete.
Abstract:
In a method for processing and utilizing bypass dust obtained during the production of cement, it is proceeded as a) contacting the bypass dust with an aqueous phase and mixing the same to obtain a homogenous slurry, with water-soluble components of the bypass dust being dissolved in the aqueous phase, b) carrying out a solid-liquid separation to separate the solids contained in the slurry so that a brine is remaining, c) separating heavy metals present in the brine and precipitating calcium as poorly soluble calcium salts, e.g. CaCO3, to obtain a processed brine, and d) subjecting the processed brine to a fractional crystallization.
Abstract:
In a method for utilizing alternative fuels in the production of clinker or cement the alternative fuels are employed in reactors (4) for the preheating and/or precalcining of raw meal in a combustion device (17) separate from the burners (12) of the respective reactor (4) and are at least partially burnt whereupon an, if necessary, complete combustion is carried out inside the reactors (4) with the combustion oxygen fed to the burner (12) of the reactor (4) in excess of stoichiometry. The device for utilizing alternative fuels in the production of clinker or cement having a clinker kiln (1) and a reactor (4) with burners (12) for preheating and calcining of raw meal and having at least one duct (18) for combustion air or -oxygen respectively is characterized in that a separate combustion device (17) having a conveyor for alternative fuels such as, for instance, a pusher or a screw conveyor (16) is provided and opens inside the respective reactor (4).
Abstract:
A method for the production of an alkali activated hydraulic binder, with the binder comprising slag, natural aluminum silicates, and an alkali activator, and the binder being free of CaSO4. The slag is provided in amounts greater than or equal to 20% (w/w), and the natural aluminum silicates are different from furnace slag, and are provided in amounts from 5 to 75% (w/w). The alkali activator is provided in an amount which corresponds to a Na2O equivalent defined as (Na2O+0.658K2O) (ASTM C 150) between 0.7 and 4% (w/w). The method includes the step of heat treating a mixture of the slag, the natural aluminium silicates, and the alkali activator at temperatures between 40° C. and 50° C. for 4 to 6 hours.
Abstract:
In a method for treating alternative, carbon-containing, low-caloric waste materials for use in furnace systems, in particular rotary tubular kilns for the production of clinker, the carbon-containing, alternative fuels are subjected to high-temperature gasification under anoxic conditions at temperatures above 1000° C., wherein water, water vapor or CO2 is injected to ensure a reaction forming CO and H2. The waste heat from a clinker cooler is used for the high-temperature gasification.
Abstract:
A method for producing multi-component cements with the following procedural steps: one component B of the multi-component cement is ground in a grinding installation MB; Portland cement is ground as component A in a cement grinding installation MA; the mechanically discharged grinding stock of the grinding installation MB is supplied to the inlet of a dynamic classifier with adjusted separation cut; the Portland cement is also supplied to the inlet of the dynamic classifier of the grinding installation MB, and the oversized material of the dynamic classifier of the grinding installation MB is recycled to the inlet of the grinding installation MB, whereas the fine product of the dynamic classifier forms the multi-component cement.
Abstract:
In a device for restricting hot, dust-laden gas flows and, in particular, dust-laden hot cooling air from clinker coolers (4) in a tertiary air duct (5) of a clinker kiln, the restrictor (6) is formed by segments (8) which are displaceable transversely to the direction of flow in a duct (5) and which are connectable with one another.

Abstract:
A method for constructing a roof system, the method comprising (i) applying an adhesive transfer film composite to a roof substrate, where the adhesive transfer film composite includes an adhesive body having first and second planar surfaces and a release member removably attached to the second planar surface of the adhesive body, where the adhesive body is devoid of a carrier layer, and where the adhesive body includes a crosslinked network of acrylate-based polymers, whereby said step of applying secures the first planar surface of the adhesive body to the roof substrate; (ii) removing the release member to thereby expose the second planar surface of the adhesive body; and (iii) applying a construction element to the second planar surface of the adhesive body to thereby adhere the construction element to the substrate.
Abstract:
