This invention relates to a process for the production of a usable or storable product with a low susceptibility to elutriation by water. This product is produced from residues containing halides obtained from a waste gas cleaning process. The halide containing residues as components of a crude dust having a CaO/SiO.sub.2 ratio between 1.7 and 3.4, are subjected to a thermal treatment to produce chlorosilicates. The waste gases formed during the thermal treatment for chlorosilicate production are subjected to a preliminary cleaning, and are then transported to the waste gas cleaning system of a refuse incineration plant. The residues occurring during the preliminary cleaning can be added to the crude dust.

Process for the production of chlorosilicates

In a method of manufacturing sintered dolomite having raw densities exceeding about 3.0 grams per cubic centimeter in a shaft kiln from ground raw dolomite briquetted or pelletized into shaped bodies, the steps include deacidifying and heating the shaped bodies to a temperature of at least 1000.degree. C. in an upper region of the shaft kiln in a preheating and deacidifying zone heated with fuels of a low thermal content, thereafter sintering the shaped bodies in a lower sintering zone heated with fuels of high thermal content, so as to heat the shaped bodies to a temperature of about 1600.degree. C. to about 2000.degree. C., and subsequently passing the sintered bodies into a lower cooling zone, cooling the bodies therein, and, thereafter, discharging the sintered bodies from the shaft kiln.
