  • Publication number: 20120087849
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for recovering lanthanum from zeolite compounds containing lanthanum which is characterized in that (A) an aqueous acid is added to one or more zeolite compounds containing lanthanum so that there is a pH value of lower than or equal to 3, and (B) dissolved lanthanum is separated out. The method according to the invention makes it possible when recovering lanthanum from zeolites containing lanthanum to dispense with the use of corrosive gases such as chlorine and hydrogen chloride and with corrosive oxidative molten metals, and thus simplifies the apparatus requirements and the process. The present invention makes it possible to recover lanthanum from zeolite compounds containing lanthanum which occur as catalyst waste from large-scale chemical material conversion processes, such as, for example, the Fluid Catalytic Cracking method (FCC method), the hydrocracking method or the Claus process.

  • Publication number: 20080282939
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic binder whose main constituent is cement to which a mixture comprised of a chromate reducer and a carrier material is added for chromate reduction. The chromate reducer contains two iron(II) sulfate components, with the first component is made of filter salt from the titanium dioxide production, to which a mineral acid regulator, particularly ground limestone, is added. The second component is moist copperas. The hydraulic binder according to the invention is cost-effective and has chromate contents that are considerably lower than the legally permitted limit. The invention also relates to the use of a mixture of filter salt and copperas as a chromate reducer for reducing water-soluble chromate contents in cement.

  • Publication number: 20070006778
    Abstract: A main component of cement is cement clinker, which is produced from a mixture of raw materials containing calcium oxide, silicon dioxide, aluminium oxide and iron oxide by means of mixing, grinding and burning. According to the invention, the mixture of raw materials consists of a calcareous component and converter slag, the converter slag being added in a proportion of up to 30% by weight. Natural resources of raw materials can hereby be preserved and the carbon dioxide output during burning of the cement clinker can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 7097816
    Abstract: In a method of producing ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, ferrous sulfate monohydrate is converted in a crystallization reactor in the presence of water into ferrous sulfate heptahydrate as crystallized product, and water is subsequently isolated from the ferrous sulfate heptahydrate. Ferrous sulfate monohydrate is obtained from a pickling solution containing ferrous chloride, hydrochloric acid and water and reacted in a precipitating reactor in the presence of excess sulfuric acid to form ferrous sulfate monohydrate and hydrochloric acid. The ferrous sulfate monohydrate is then dehumidified and converted in a crystallization reactor in the presence of excess water into ferrous sulfate heptahydrate.
