摘要： The invention provides a heat treatment apparatus, in which an intake valve (91a) is mounted on an ambient gas feed pipe (91) connected to a heating chamber (12), an exhaust valve (131a) is mounted on an exhaust pipe (131), and a pressure sensor (150) is provided on the heating chamber (12). Through the control of a control unit (80) connected to the pressure sensor (150), to the intake valve (91a) and to the exhaust valve (131a), the intake valve (91a) and the exhaust valve (131a) are opened or closed, thus supplying ambient gas into the heating chamber (12) or exhausting ambient gas from the cooling chamber (13) depending on an internal pressure of the heating chamber (12). Thus, the amount of ambient gas used in heat treating workpieces (1) is minimized and thus operational costs are reduced. It is possible to prevent accidents such as gas explosions as well as to reduce environmental contamination caused by the combustion of ambient gas.

摘要： Cellular ceramic materials, for example closed cell glass ceramic materials, for use in construction of buildings comprising a clay material, carbon, and water used to form the cellular ceramic blocks, slabs and beams by expansion of the particles inside the ware. The cellular ceramic materials are produced by first mixing the clay, carbon and about 40% to about 70% water by weight of the clay in the mixture, allowing the mixture to cure, drying the cured mixture, then firing the dried mixture at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to melt the surface of the mixture. The clay material can be, for example, surface clays, ball clays, kaolin, shale, fly ash and/or bentonite. In another embodiment a mixture of volcanic ash, carbon and water can be formed and layered with the mixture of clay, carbon and water. The cellular ceramic materials are, in most cases, impervious to liquid, are capable of supporting substantial loads in tension and compression without reinforcement, and require no additional insulating material. Such cellular ceramic material may also be used in the construction of buildings with a metal skeleton comprising metal bars forming a structure for supporting the cellular ceramic building material.

摘要： Systems and methods for use in processing raw material (e.g., iron bearing material) include a linear furnace apparatus extending along a longitudinal axis between a charging end and a discharging end (e.g., the linear furnace apparatus includes at least a furnace zone positioned along the longitudinal axis). Raw material is provided into one or more separate or separable containers (e.g., trays) at the charging end of the linear furnace apparatus. The separate or separable containers are moved through at least the furnace zone and to the discharging end where the processed material is discharged resulting in one or more empty containers. One or more of the empty containers are returned to the charging end of the linear furnace apparatus to receive further raw material.

In one embodiment, a plurality of channel openings extend at least partially through a layer of the reducible mixture to define a plurality of nugget forming reducible material regions. Such channel openings may be at least partially filled with nugget separation fill material (e.g., carbonaceous material). Thermally treating the layer of reducible mixture results in formation of one or more metallic iron nuggets. In other embodiments, various compositions of the reducible mixture and the formation of the reducible mixture provide one or more beneficial characteristics.
