ReduDustA System for Bypass dust recoveryBy: Ing. Jonathan forinton ing. Pedro montes de Oca
Redudust Agenda: • Introduction • Basic Concept • Products • Application • Pilot Plant • Industrial Installation • Summary
Introduction • Many plants have implemented a bypass for removing chlorine from the pyrosystem • Main Advantage: • Stable operation despite Cl input • Main challenges today: • Clean disposal of bypass dust • Recuperation of raw material • Winning of byproducts
Introduction • Properties of Bypass dust: • Very poisonous for the ambient in contact with water • Alkalis (K2O, Na2O), • Chlorine (Cl) • Sulfur (SO3) • Mercury, heavy Metals • Use today: • Limited addition to cement • Rest landfilled • Use with REDUDUST: • Economically friendly solution: conversion to marketable products: salts + clean raw meal
Basic concept • Before leaching – particles covered with Micro Crystals of Chlorine based salts • Water dissolves the Micro Crystals - uncovered particles are now able to react with water • Blue areas indicate free lime • Free lime reacts to Lime Hydrate (orange)

Mass Balance Overview Data givenfortypical Egypt bypassdust 5,0 t/h 6,0 t/h 1,0 t/h 10 MW 6,0 t/h 4,0 t/h 2,0 t/h Bypass Dust Product Material ReduDust Process Plant Sewage water Potable Water Cement Waste Heat Chemicals Salts
Intermediate Products • Limestone slurry • collected sediments from CO2 precipitation • Heavy metal sludge • collected sediments from heavy metal treatment process Both are usually not leaving the process !! Limestone slurry (dry) Heavy metals sludge (dry)
Final Products • Lime hydrate filter cake • Desalted bypass dust released from filter press • Salt • Crystallized mixture of all salt contained in brine • Separation and purification of main elements possible e.g. Potassium chloride (KCl) Filter cake Salt
ProductApplications • Filter cake (low chlorine) –approximately 35% of residual moisture • Reintroduce back to process into cement mill due to low Cl content (<1%) • SO2 Trap Preheater Tower and/or Filter Equipment • Recycling as Raw Material: Calcining at 580°C, Energy 1.99MJ/kg CaO instead of 3.17 MJ/kg CaO • Additive for Cement Blends • No need for new material licenses, because it is considered as bypass dust
ProductApplications • Salts • Valuable product on market (e.g. fertilizer production at around 300 €/t market price) • Valuable Raw Material for various processes in the chemical Industry • Meets all European laws for chemical products

Industrial Installation Data givenfortypical European bypassdust • Basic design principles • Utilization of waste heat from the cement plant • Installation must follow chemical installation requirements especially for environmental and safety reasons • Automatic operation • Reception of Bypass dust from different plants is considered
Industrial Installation Data givenfortypical European bypassdust • Plant capacity • Standard design capacity of 20.000 tpy of Bypass dust • 4.000 tons of salts per year (approx. 3.000tons of KCl)
Respecting optimal flow Bypass dust Filter cake Brine Salt Chemicals Dimensions of footprint 24 m x 36 m KClsilo Crystallization Chemicals NaCl bags Mixing & Chemical treatment Tanks storage Filter cake outlet Filtration Bypass dust storage, dosing and transport PLANT ARRANGEMENT
Bypass dust 20k t/y CKD 8 – 15 % of Chlorine Filter cake 16k t/y Washed bypass dust <1% of Chloride moisture <30% Brine 20k t/y Saturated salty water >10% of Chlorine Chemicals used 4 common industrial chemicals available on the market Salt KCl >95% purity NaCl salt >98% purity MATERIALOVERVIEW
Industrial Installation Data givenfortypical European bypassdust • Operational data • 3 operators full time operation in 3 shifts working days • depending on kiln operation due to its heat demand (important for design of the storage capacity) • Heat need for crystallization and drying is around 1.4MW • Designed to handle 5-15% chlorine content bypass dust • Overall Cl-extraction efficiency >90%
Summary • Zero waste • Recycling of raw meal • Production of a saleable Product
