Abstract

A method of disposing of undesirable chemical compounds in waste dust generated in a first kiln in the manufacture of cement clinker by using the dust and slag as the feedstock material to a second kiln, heating the feedstock material in an oxidizing atmosphere, and raising the heat sufficient to diffuse the waste dust and the slag to form a hydraulic product such as cement clinker and lime but insufficient to volatilize previously precipitated chemical compounds in the feedstock material.
