Title: System and method for treating fly ash
Inventor: TARDIF MARC-ANDRE
IPC: C04B18/08
Filed: 2004-01-22
Abstract: A method of mixing fly ash with a treating fluid is disclosed, which comprises the steps of flowing a stream of fly ash; determining the flow rate of the fly ash; providing the measured flow rate of the fly ash to a controller; pressurizing at least one treating fluid with a pressurizing apparatus in operative communication with the controller; and spraying an atomized liquid treating fluid into the flowing fly ash stream at a flow rate corresponding to the measured flow rate of the fly ash, wherein the treating fluid comprises an agent selected from the group consisting of sacrificial agents, surfactants, coating compositions, and combinations thereof. By dispersing the treating fluid into the fly ash as the fly ash is flowing, the method takes advantage of natural mixing and particle motion that occurs during flow of the bulk solid. The application of treating fluid is advantageously controlled by an automated controller that has inputs and outputs that allow the controller to adjust flow rate of the treating fluid in correspondence with a measured flow rate of the fly ash. Also disclosed is a system for treating fly ash with a treating fluid by evenly dispersing a treating fluid into a flowing stream of fly ash.
