In the method according to the invention for separating mercury from waste gases of a cement production process, the mercury is sorbed on a sorbent, the sorbent is subsequently discharged from the process and supplied to a discharge reactor which is operated with a carrier gas. The sorbent is heated there to temperatures of more than 250&#xb0; C. so that the mercury is discharged from the sorbent and changed into the gas phase, the gas of the discharge reactor that has accumulated mercury subsequently having the dust removed from it in a preliminary dust removal device, and only a part-flow of the gas which has been enriched and had the dust removed from it in this manner being drawn off at high temperatures and cleaned in a subsequent sorption stage, whilst the remaining part-flow is brought to the temperature required for the discharge of the mercury in the discharge reactor in a heat transfer system and is again supplied as a carrier gas to the discharge reactor.

The device according to the invention for carrying out chemical and/or physical reactions between a solid material and a gas, in particular for the preheating, cooling and/or calcining of fine-grain materials, essentially comprises at least one helical and/or spiral conduit, in which the gas-solid material suspension is separated by centrifugal forces into a solid material flow and a gas flow, and, connected to the end of the helical and/or spiral conduit, at least one separation region, to which a solid material conduit for discharging the solid material flow and a gas conduit for discharging the gas flow are connected. The separation region is here formed by a lower part of the gas conduit, the separation region in the region of the junction of the helical and/or spiral conduit and the part of the gas conduit above and adjoining it having the same diameter. To form a swirling flow, the helical and/or spiral conduit opens out tangentially and at an angle to the horizontal of at least 30&#xb0; into the separation region.

The invention relates to the cooling of hot bulk material, particularly cement clinker, ore material or the like, in a grate cooler, in which the bulk material is transported on the cooler grate surface toward an outlet and exposed to cooling gas from below. At least a part of the relatively cooler lower portion of the material layer is discharged through suitable chutes upstream of the cooler outlet while in transport to increase the cooling efficiency of the process.

Method and grate cooler for hot bulk material

The invention relates to a method of producing cement clinker from fine-grained cement raw material which after preheating and calcining is burnt in a clinker burning zone divided into two stages and is then cooled. Optimum process conditions, particularly in the clinker burning zone, are achieved in that the calcined material is first of all heated to a temperature up to the region of the sintering temperature in a stage formed by a fluidized bed or spouted bed so that a build-up granulation of the material is brought about, whereupon the material thus heated is heated to the sintering temperature in a second stage of the clinker burning zone which acts as the finish-burning stage and tempered to the finishing burn.

The invention relates to the comminution of material for grinding, particularly for the production of cement, wherein the material for grinding is comminuted in a mill and the comminution product is classified in a classification zone into fines and oversize material and the oversize material is returned to the mill. With a view to effective influencing of the breadth of the particle size distribution as well as a relatively low specific energy consumption the comminution product is classified in the classification zone in at least two air separators which are connected one behind the other in series, and a proportion of the oversize material from the first air separator is returned directly to the mill, the remaining proportion being delivered to the second air separator.

By such a method the NO.sub.x content of the exhaust gases is significantly reduced, and at the same time heavy metals and trace pollutants are eliminated from the exhaust gases.

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for purifying the exhaust gases from plants for the production of cement clinker, in which in a multi-stage filter zone hot exhaust gases coming from a preheating zone are first of all cleaned of dust in a first filter stage and then in a further stage are purified of NH.sub.x compounds, heavy metals and trace pollutants, SO.sub.z and NO.sub.x. In order to achieve a particularly efficient and economic purification, the exhaust gases from the preheating zone are set before the first filter stage to such a filter zone inlet temperature that in this first filter stage at least a proportion of the easily volatile pollutant elements and pollutant compounds are precipitated out of the exhaust gases in addition to the dust.
