Abstract

See full text

Cement and elemental sulfur are produced by forming a moist mixture of a flue gas desulfurization process waste product containing 80-95 percent by weight calcium sulfate hemihydrate and 5-20 percent by weight calcium sulfate hemihydrate, aluminum, iron, silica and carbon, agglomerating the moist mixture while drying the same to form a feedstock, and calcining the dry agglomerated feedstock in a rotary kiln. Sulfur dioxide produced during the calcination is cooled and contacted with hydrogen and carbon monoxide to reduce the same to elemental sulfur.
