Mini-technology for obtaining aluminous cement

Abstract

This article examines the feasibility of producing aluminous cement based on highly dispersed raw materials by using reverberatory electric furnaces with capacities ranging from 1.2 to 4.6 tons/day. A technology is developed for low-temperature solid-phase sintering and tests are performed on the resulting product. Recommendations are given on selecting and minimizing the cost of the necessary production equipment. An alternative sintering-based technology is also proposed, this technology involving the kiln roasting of aluminous cement in a discrete-continuous regime. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
