  2. Pyroprocessing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroprocessing

    Pyroprocessing includes such terms as ore-roasting, calcination and sintering. Equipment for pyroprocessing includes kilns, electric arc furnaces and reverberatory furnaces. Cement manufacturing is a very common example of pyroprocessing. The raw material mix is fed to a kiln where pyroprocessing takes place. As with most industries ...

  3. Liquid fluoride thorium reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_fluoride_thorium...

    As the fuel of a LFTR is a molten salt mixture, it is attractive to use pyroprocessing, high temperature methods working directly with the hot molten salt. Pyroprocessing does not use radiation sensitive solvents and is not easily disturbed by decay heat. It can be used on highly radioactive fuel directly from the reactor. [31]

  4. Rotary kiln - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_kiln

    A rotary kiln is a pyroprocessing device used to raise materials to a high temperature (calcination) in a continuous process. Materials produced using rotary kilns include: Cement; Lime; Refractories; Metakaolin; Titanium dioxide; Alumina; Vermiculite; Iron ore pellets

  5. Cement kiln - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_kiln

    Cement kilns are used for the pyroprocessing stage of manufacture of portland and other types of hydraulic cement, in which calcium carbonate reacts with silica-bearing minerals to form a mixture of calcium silicates. Over a billion tonnes of cement are made per year, and cement kilns are the heart of this production process: their capacity ...

  6. Pyrometallurgy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrometallurgy

    The most common example of roasting is the oxidation of metal sulfide ores. The metal sulfide is heated in the presence of air to a temperature that allows the oxygen in the air to react with the sulfide to form sulfur dioxide gas and solid metal oxide. The solid product from roasting is often called "calcine".

    The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag.

    Furthermore, some programs are only partly free (for example, accessing abstracts or a small number of items), whereas complete access is prohibited (login or institutional subscription required). The "Size" column denotes the number of documents (articles, publications, datasets, preprints) rather than the number of citations or references.

    Youth Services International confronted a potentially expensive situation. It was early 2004, only three months into the private prison company’s $9.5 million contract to run Thompson Academy, a juvenile prison in Florida, and already the facility had become a scene of documented violence and neglect.
