Process of treatment and environment-friendly utilization of asbestos-cement products

摘要

The invention refers to a process of treatment and environment-friendly utilization of asbestos-cement products including a thermal process to transform the asbestos component. Inventively, this is achieved by a coarse reduction of the asbestos-cement products under black side conditions with maintained vacuum. Then, the material is ground to asbestos-cement meal and fed to the flame zone of the rotary kiln of a cement clinker production line. Depending on the fuel type used, the portion of fed asbestos-cement meal varies between 2 and 5%, related to the amount of cement raw meal, substituting 2 to 5% of the cement raw meal mix at a time. The thermal transformation of the asbestos component takes place with temperatures of approximately 1800 DEG C. in the burner zone. The modified residual substance becomes a constituent of the cement clinker due to assimilation in the kiln charge.
