Abstract: The present invention relates to engine manufacture. An air cleaner which comprises a housing (1) with an air-supply pipe (2) forming an annular clearance (3). A main filtering member (5) is placed in the clearance (3) and in close vicinity to the opening (13) of the air-supply pipe (2) and additional filtering member (14). According to the invention the filtering member (14) has a recess (15) which is coaxial to the pipe (2) on the surface (16). The size of the recess (15) on the surface (16) is greater than the diameter of the pipe (2).It is preferably to use the air cleaner in an engine operating in unfavorable conditions with vapors of oil and soot.

Abstract: The cement of the invention comprises chemically combined oxides, percent by mass: CaO, 50 to 60; Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 28 to 37; Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, 0.01 to 1; SiO.sub.2, 0.1 to 8; Na.sub.2 O, 0.1 to 1; K.sub.2 O, 0.1 to 0.5; H.sub.2 O, 3 to 12; and incorporates 85 to 99% by mass of a fraction with a particle size of below 80 .mu.m and 1 to 15% by mass of a fraction with a particle size of from 80 to 200 .mu.m. The cement can also contain one or more additives: calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, calcium carboaluminate.The method according to the invention for preparing said cement comprises a heat-treatment of calcium hydroalumosilicate containing SiO.sub.2 in an amount of not more than 8% by mass at a temperature of from 250.degree. to 600.degree. C. The heat-treated product is disintegrated to produce 85 to 99% by mass of a fraction with a particle size of below 80 .mu.m and 1 to 15% of a fraction with a particle size of from 80 to 200 .mu.m.

Abstract: The process consists of two desilication stages. In the first stage the aluminate liquor resulting from digestion of the sinter is subjected to an autoclave treatment to remove the major portion of impurities of SiO.sub.2 and Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3. In the second stage the aluminate liquor is treated with a desilication agent comprising a lime pulp containing oxides CaO, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, SiO.sub.2, Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, Na.sub.2 O in a mass ratio of CaO:(SiO.sub.2 +Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3)=1,000 to 5,000:1 and Na.sub.2 Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 =0.25-0.60:1, wherein CaO is active, Na.sub.2 O--in the carbonate form. This lime pulp is employed in such an amount as to ensure the content of active CaO in the aluminate liquor within the range of from 5 to 10 g/l . The impurities of SiO.sub.2 and Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 present in the liquor pass into the solid phase with the formation of calcium hydrogarnets of the formula 3 CaO(Al,Fe).sub.2 O.sub.3 mSiO.sub.2 (6-2m)H.sub.2 O, wherein m=0.01-0.5 which are separated as a mud.
