Abstract: Systems and methods for impurity removal to limestone using modifications to the typical calcination process of turning calcium carbonate into calcium oxide prior to slaking to produce calcium hydroxide. Specifically, substantially increasing the temperature to 1100° C. or higher and increasing soak time can result in reductions in certain undesirable impurities, particularly with regards to lead and lead compounds.

Abstract: A hydrated lime product which can be provided to an end user in dry form and which can be formed into a slurry which will comprise lime hydrate with sufficiently increased reactivity over that of traditional hydrated lime slurries to be competitive in reaction time with on-site produced slaked lime slurries.

Abstract: Systems and Methods to produce a lime hydrate sorbent composition formed of highly reactive lime hydrate (HRH) by adding compounds to the slaking water in a method that would produce a non-HRH, which will typically be a lime hydrate having citric acid reactivity as discussed above of more than ten seconds, to make the non-HRH an HRH, which is having a citric acid reactivity of less than or equal to ten seconds.

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced coated mats and fiber-reinforced coated mat-faced panels are provided herein, along with methods for making the same. Fiber-reinforced coated mats include a mat with a fiber-reinforced coating on one surface. Fiber-reinforced coated mat-faced panels include a fiber-coated mat and a panel material in contact with a surface of the mat opposite the fiber-reinforced coating. Methods include applying a fiber-reinforced coating to a surface of a mat to form a coated mat and drying the coated mat to cure the fiber-reinforced coating. Some methods also include combining the mat with a panel material to form a mat-faced panel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generation of lime hydrate compounds and particularly highly reactive hydrated lime (HRH) with a reduced resistivity through the inclusion of a sodium compound generally in the slaking water used in generating the lime hydrate or HRH. The compound may then be used in systems which include a Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) for SO2 mitigation without many of the associated problems in ESP performance.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the effective sequestration of waste gases from an industrial process such as, but not limited to, one or more lime or cement kilns used in the production of quicklime. This system may be used in conjunction with one or more shafts to an existing or abandoned mine that includes water capable of removing various pollutants in the gas stream, including but not limited, to sulfur compounds, chlorine compounds, mercury compounds, and carbon dioxide. Such pollutants may be sequestered in the mine itself through the process of particulate formation when the gas stream reacts with the mine water.
