Abstract:
A method for the production of Portland slag cement and blast furnace cement by two-step grinding, comprising the following steps: a) Portland cement clinker is charged into a first mill for preliminary grinding, the cement mill (24), b) the delivery material of the cement mill is supplied directly and/or via an intermediate reservoir into the inlet of a dynamic classifier, c) slag meal or slag grit is additionally supplied into the inlet of the dynamic classifier, d) oversized material discharged from the dynamic classifier is supplied for pulverising into the inlet of a second mill, e) the delivery material of the second mill is fed into the inlet of the dynamic classifier, and f) sulphate carrier is supplied either to the first mill, to the inlet of the dynamic classifier or to the inlet of the second mill, and g) the fine material of the dynamic classifier is supplied to a reservoir.
Abstract:
A method for the treatment of fissures in concrete structures by means of repairing them with microcement-based material, comprising a method wherein the fissures, both horizontal and vertical or inclined fissures, are identified and analyzed. The treatment of the mentioned horizontal fissures comprises cleaning them and drying their surface using compressed air and subsequently filling them by means of gravity, the grout being poured with the help of a “pset”. The vertical or inclined fissures are treated by demarcating the sites for drilling and inserting the injector nozzles that permit cleaning and saturating the fissures with water, followed by the injection of the microcement grout under pressure.

Abstract:
In a method for the preheating of cement raw meal for the production of cement-clinker, in which the cement raw meal is conveyed towards the feed side of a cement clinker kiln (1) in at least one heat exchanger-line in counter flow to hot gases, the hot gases are drawn off via at least a first heat exchanger (2) connected with the feed end of the cement clinker kiln (1) and via heat exchanger-lines (3,4) following this first heat exchanger (2) and being parallel to each other. The device for carrying out said method is characterized in that heat exchanger-lines (3,4) arranged in parallel to each other are connected to at least a first heat exchanger (2) joined to the feed end of the cement clinker kiln.

Abstract:
A method of preparing a thermoplastic roofing membrane, the method comprising (i) extruding a composition including a thermoplastic polymer and a mineral filler to form an extrudate; (ii) forming the extrudate into a sheet having first and second planar surfaces; (iii) allowing the sheet to at least partially cool; and (iv) mechanically treating the first planar surface of the sheet to thereby expose the mineral filler.
Abstract:
A method of reroofing, the method comprising of applying to an existing roof surface a membrane composite including a pre-applied adhesive layer by mating the adhesive layer to the existing membrane.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a carbonated mineral for use in cement is provided; wherein a mineral component with a (CaO+MgO)/SiO2 weight ratio of 1.2 to 5.0 is ground to a powder; mixed with water to form a paste; the paste is placed in a reactor in an atmosphere containing CO2; the paste is carbonated in the reactor; and the resulting material is dried to constant weight; or the mineral component is ground to a Blaine fineness between 3′000 cm2/g and 10′000 cm2/g to obtain a powder; during grinding a CO2 rich gas is injected so that the component carbonates; the powder is mixed with water at a weight ratio between 0.3 and 1.5 to obtain a paste, or pre-humidified by adding water at a weight ratio between 0.03 and 0.2; the resulting material is dried to constant weight at 60-85° C.; and the resulting material is deagglomerated and sieved.
