According to [4], two coincineration routes can be utilized with good energy recovery coincineration in coal-fired thermoelectric plants and coincineration in cement furnaces to replace fossil fuels, which in the Brazilian case is generally petroleum coke (petcoke). The substitution in power plants is up to 10% and in cement plants up to 30% by weight. The calorific power of the SRF in the study by [4] is 18 MJ/kg or 4,300 kcal/kg, which corresponds to 6% of the calorific power of coal. 

K,oH3[Y(SiW,039)2] was compacted into a round piece (diameter=10mm, high=3mm) under 12MPa. The permeable reagent was self-made [9]. The equipment was a crucible cementation furnace with the XMT-101 fine temperature controller. The DP temperature was 550°C and the DP time was 2h. The system was cooled down naturally. The conductivity measurement was performed on a conductivity measuring system and the permeated rare-earth was determined by ICP, and the structure of the sample was detected by IR, XRD spectrometer. 

USE Heat-resistant insulators, cements, furnace and hot pipe coverings, inert filler medium (laboratory commercial), fireproof gloves, clothing, brake linings. NaOH treated asbestos, Ascarite, has been used to absorb C02 in com -bustion analysis. 

Another common way of classifying combustors is according to their geometry that includes their shape and orientation. The two most common shapes are rectangular and cylindrical. The two most common orientations are horizontal and vertical, although inclined furnaces are commonly used in certain applications such as rotary cement furnaces. An example of using the shape and orientation of the furnace as a means of classification would be a vertical cylindrical heater (sometimes referred to as a VC) used to heat fluids in the petrochemical industry. Both the furnace shape and orientation have important effects on the heat transfer in the system. They also determine the type of test that will be done.

The calcium sulfate [7778-18-9] discharged from the furnace can also be recovered. This is less the practice in the United States where natural gypsum is plentiful and inexpensive than in Europe, where CaSO recovery for use in cement (qv) and self-leveling floors is common. Some CaSO is recovered in the United States, primarily for lower end uses such as road aggregate. 

High purity CA cements are primarily used as binders for high strength refractory castables to form linings up to about 1.0 m thick, as, for example, in iron blast furnaces. Since the 1970s, large monolithic precast CAC castable shapes have found increased usage in a variety of specialty fired shapes that are too expensive to be inventoried. 

Similar to oil-fired plants, either low NO burners, SCR, or SNCR can be appHed for NO control at PC-fired plants. Likewise, fabric filter baghouses or electrostatic precipitators can be used to capture flyash (see Airpollution controlmethods). The collection and removal of significant levels of bottom ash, unbumed matter that drops to the bottom of the furnace, is a unique challenge associated with coal-fired faciUties. Once removed, significant levels of both bottom ash and flyash may require transport for landfilling. Some beneficial reuses of this ash have been identified, such as in the manufacture of Pordand cement. 

Oil having characteristics that make it unsuitable for further use or economic recycling. This material may be usable as a fuel in large industrial furnaces, such as cement kilns. 

RCF is sold in a variety of forms, such as loose fiber, blanket, boards, modules, cloth, cements, putties, paper, coatings, felt, vacuum-formed shapes, rope, braid, tape, and textiles. The products are principally used for industrial appHcations as insulation in furnaces, heaters, kiln linings, furnace doors, metal launders, tank car insulation, and other uses up to 1400°C. RCF-consuming industries include ferrous and nonferrous metals, petrochemical, ceramic, glass, chemical, fertiH2er, transportation, constmction, and power generation/incineration. Some newer uses include commercial fire protection and appHcations in aerospace, eg, heat shields and automotive, eg, catalytic converters, metal reinforcement, heat shields, brake pads, and airbags. 

Residual traces of zinc are released during vacuum sintering of cemented carbides made with recovered powders. This can be troublesome when a buildup of zinc occurs in the furnace. Teledyne Advanced Materials further developed this process on a commercial basis by achieving zinc levels in the low ppm range (<30 ppm). The fact that the materials were vacuum-sintered in their original form where certain impurities are removed leads to lower impurity levels in the recovered powders. There is a slight oxidation or loss of carbon that must be compensated, otherwise the recycled powder is not in any way inferior to the original. 

Blended hydraulic cements are used to conserve energy. They are intimate and uniform blends of tine materials such as Pordand cement, ground blast furnace slag, dy ash, and other po22olans, ie, tine, reactive sUica sources. ASTM C595 Hsts five classes or types. 

Type IS Pordand cement and blast furnace slag cement...

In ECS s 1986 repowefing project Babcock and Wilcox (B W) constmcted a bubbling-bed section to ECS s existing 125 MWe pulverized-coal furnace to produce 31.3 t/h of lime, usiag cmshed coal as the source of heat to calciae limestone ia the fluidized bed. A portion of the lime is drawn from the bed as bottom ash and a portion is collected as fly ash. Both portions are transferred to a cement (qv) plant adjacent to the boiler. The hot flue gas from the EBC flows iato the existing main pulverized-coal furnace, ia which a B W LIMB system was also iastaHed to absorb sulfur dioxide dufing those times when the EBC is not operating. 

Typical applications in the chemical field (Beaver, op. cit.) include detarring of manufactured gas, removal of acid mist and impurities in contact sulfuric acid plants, recovery of phosphoric acid mists, removal of dusts in gases from roasters, sintering machines, calciners, cement and lime Idlns, blast furnaces, carbon-black furnaces, regenerators on fluid-catalyst units, chemical-recoveiy furnaces in soda and sulfate pulp mills, and gypsum kettles. Figure 17-74 shows a vertical-flow steel-plate-type precipitator similar to a type used for catalyst-dust collection in certain fluid-catalyst plants.
