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
2012
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
2012
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)

INTERMEDIATE PRODUCTS
Limestone slurry – collected sediments from
CO2 precipitationHeavy 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 pressSalt – Crystallized mixture of all
salt contained in brine– Separation and purification
of main elements possible e.g. Potassium chloride (KCl)
Filter cake
Salt

PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
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
2012
PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
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 INSTALLATIONDATA GIVEN FOR TYPICAL EUROPEAN BYPASS DUST
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
2012
INDUSTRIAL INSTALLATIONDATA GIVEN FOR TYPICAL EUROPEAN BYPASS DUST
Plant capacity– Standard design capacity of 20.000 tpy of Bypass dust – 4.000 tons of salts per year (approx. 3.000 tons of KCl)
2012
PLANT ARRANGEMENT
• Respecting optimal flow– Bypass dust– Filter cake– Brine– Salt– Chemicals
• Dimensions of footprint– 24 m x 36 m

MATERIAL OVERVIEW
• 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
2012
INDUSTRIAL INSTALLATIONDATA GIVEN FOR TYPICAL EUROPEAN BYPASS DUST
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 1.4 MW– Designed to handle 5-15% chlorine content bypass dust– Overall Cl-extraction efficiency >90%
