Portland cement clinker was first made (in 1825) in a modified form of the traditional static lime kiln. [2] [3] [4] The basic, egg-cup shaped lime kiln was provided with a conical or beehive shaped extension to increase draught and thus obtain the higher temperature needed to make cement clinker.
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; Other short titles: Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976: Long title: An Act to provide technical and financial assistance for the development of management plans and facilities for the recovery of energy and other resources from discarded materials and for the safe disposal of discarded materials, and to regulate the management of hazardous waste.
Portland cement has been used as an alternative to soil stabilization. However, this can often be an expensive component and not an Environmentally friendly alternative. Cement fly ash , lime fly ash (separately, or with cement or lime), bitumen, tar, cement kiln dust (CKD), tree resin, and ionic stabilizers are all commonly used stabilizing ...
The waste streams also often contain combustible materials which allow the substitution of part of the fossil fuel normally used in the process. Waste materials used in cement kilns as a fuel supplement: [36] Car and truck tires – steel belts are easily tolerated in the kilns; Paint sludge from automobile industries; Waste solvents and lubricants
Most cement kilns today use coal and petroleum coke as primary fuels, and to a lesser extent natural gas and fuel oil. Selected waste and by-products with recoverable calorific value can be used as fuels in a cement kiln (referred to as co-processing), replacing a portion of conventional fossil fuels, like coal, if they meet strict specifications.
Cement was mixed into the contaminated waste to solidify and stabilize it. [6] When the S/S process was complete, the solidified areas were covered with an engineered cap consisting of a clay, followed by layers of gravel and soil. Finally, the surface was planted with grass and other vegetation. [7]
Cement clinker is a solid material produced in the manufacture of portland cement as an intermediary product. Clinker occurs as lumps or nodules, usually 3 millimetres (0.12 in) to 25 millimetres (0.98 in) in diameter.
Among the special wastes were included cement kiln dust, fly ash, mining wastes, and wastes from oil, gas, and geothermal exploration and production. The oil, gas, and geothermal wastes included drilling fluids, produced waters, and other wastes associated with oil and natural gas exploration, development, or production. [34]
