Improved kiln burners

Improvements made by Austrian Unitherm Cemcon to its M.A.S. rotary kiln burners, aimed at optimizing the combustion of solid secondary fuels with low NOx emissions, raising the burner efficiency and facilitating its maintenance, are considered. Several examples of succe...

Curved conveyors for cement industry

Curved belt and pipe conveyors for cement industry developed and produced by BEUMER Group of companies (Germany) are reviewed. With these pipelines bulk materials can be quickly and efficiently transported over rough terrain. An example of the pipe conveyor belt...

Influence of used tires combustion products on the quality of cement and concrete

Physical and chemical studies of the effect of iron oxides on the hydrolytic stability of clinker minerals and cement and the concrete obtained from them were made. The specifics of these processes in cements obtained from clinkers burned in rotary kilns together with s...

Water physical properties of chalk suspensions depending on the microstructural characteristics of the rock and the presence of thinning agents

Water physical properties of chalk suspensions depending on the microstructural characteristics of the rock and the presence of thinners at OOO Polyplast Novomoskovsk were examined. It is shown that the microstructure of chalk particles occurring at the lower horizon is...

Inhibitory activity and transformation of mineral additives in testing of cement compositions for alkali expansion

The work reviews the transformation of silica-containing additives (silica fume, metakaolin, precipitated SiO2, and low-calcium fly ash) in the cement stone and cement-sand mortar, aged in tests according to the method close to GOST 8269.0 (a method of testi...

Specifics of mineral formation in the synthesis of sulfoferrite clinker due to the influence of impurities

The possibility of using sulfoferrite clinker synthesized from metallurgical wastes as an expanding component for non-shrinking and expanding cements was established. The effect of trace elements contained in the wastes on the processes of mineralization in sulfoferrite...

Thermal activation of natural clays containing kaolinite

Pozzolanic properties of pure kaolinitic clays are widely proved, but natural clay deposits present several impurities: illite, quartz, anatase and feldspar, and the prediction of its pozzolanic properties are poorly investigated. The purpose of this investigation is to...
