Abstract: A method of heating solids in a reactor to produce a heat-treated material, such as a cementitious, a supplementary cementitious, or a pozzolanic material, includes conveying the solids through the reactor from a feeding end to a discharge end so as to form a material bed extending from the feeding end to the discharge end; heating the solids during the conveying to at least 600° C. to transform the solids into the heat-treated material, wherein the heating includes applying radiative heating to the material bed from above and/or from the sides, wherein the radiative heating contributes at least 60% of the thermal energy needed for the heating, and wherein the material bed is mobilized during the conveying in order to renew the surface of the material bed that is exposed to the radiative heating.

Abstract: A method of calcining a raw material to obtain a cementitious material, includes providing a flow of raw material containing a metal carbonate, such as CaCO3 to a calcination system, introducing the flow of raw material into a first thermal reactor and at least partially decarbonating the raw material in the first thermal reactor by subjecting the raw material to a first heat treatment at a first temperature of at least 650° C. in order to obtain an at least partly decarbonated material and CO2, wherein the first thermal reactor is heated by electrical energy, and obtaining the cementitious material as a result of the first heat treatment.

Abstract: A method of processing exhaust gas containing CO2, such as exhaust gas from a cement production plant, includes burning fuel in the combustion reactor with the O2 content of the exhaust gas being used as an oxidizing agent, controlling the combustion in the combustion reactor so that the exhaust gas from the combustion reactor contains less than 10 vol.-% of oxygen and at least 80 vol.-% of a mixture of CO and CO2, and feeding the exhaust gas from the combustion reactor into a conversion reactor, in which the CO2 and optionally the CO contained in the exhaust gas is converted into a hydrocarbon fuel.
