Zusammenfassung: | A process for producing strong, essentially dust-free agglomerates from dust created by an industrial operation carried out, for example, on an ore or mineral, e.g. during the thermal conversion of a material containing predominantly gibbsite to sub-alpha alumina by a multistage thermal process having at least one intermediate stage. The process comprises grinding particles of binder material containing undercalcined alumina to a median particle size of less than 30 x 10 cm (30 microns) and to a specific surface area in the range of 90-300 m /g; combining about 1-4 parts by weight of the dust with one part by weight of the ground binder material to form combined solids; mixing the combined solids with water to produce agglomerates. The water is mixed with the combined solids by intensive mixing in a mixer equipped with a mixing motor, the water being added according to a two-step scheme in which: (a) 40-80 % of the total amount of water is added to the combined solids at a rate such that no more than 10 minutes are required for complete addition; (b) commencing the addition of the remainder of the water and measuring a characteristic of said mixture corresponding to its viscosity and using the measurement as a reference value; and (c) continuing the addition of the remainder of the water while continuing to measure the characteristic of the mixture, the water being added at such a rate that the characteristic of the mixture remains the same as the reference value during the addition or varies by less than +/- 5 %.
Procédé de production d'agglomérats résistants, essentiellement dépourvus de poussières, à partir de la poussière générée par une opération industrielle. Il peut s'agir, par exemple, d'une opération effectuée sur un minerai ou un minéral, pendant la transformation thermique d'un matériau contenant essentiellement de l'alumine de qualité gibbsite à sub-alpha, selon un procédé thermique à plusieurs étapes comportant au moins une étape intermédiaire. Ce procédé consiste à broyer des particules de matériau liant contenant de l'alumine sous-calcinée jusqu'à l'obtention d'une taille de particule inférieure à 30 x 10 cm (30 microns) et d'une aire de surface comprise entre 90 et 300 m /g; à combiner environ 1 à 4 parties en poids de la poussière avec une autre partie en poids du matériau liant broyé pour former des solides combinés; à mélanger les solides combinés avec de l'eau pour produire des agglomérats. L'eau est mélangée avec les solides co |
