Title: Cement kiln dust treatment system and method
Inventor: POLING CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B01D53/14
Filed: 2011-08-18
Abstract: Disclosed are a method for treating cement kiln dust (100) and a system for treating cement kiln dust (100). Cement kiln dust (100) can be recycled in the cement kiln process as a raw material. The cement kiln dust (100) is treated to separate out heavy metals from the cement kiln dust (100) and to reduce build-up of concentrations of cement kiln dust (100) in the system which do not readily combine into clinker. The method comprises receiving cement kiln dust (100) from a cement kiln. The cement kiln dust (100) is heated in a volatilization vessel (104) to separate at least one heavy metal, such as mercury, from the cement kiln dust (100) to create a heavy metal containing gas stream (107). The gas stream is treated in a treating chamber (114) with a treating fluid such as alkaline-earth metal sulphide and/or polysulphide via nozzles (116). At least a portion of at least one heavy metal is removed from the gas stream (107).

Title: System, method, and apparatus for infusing fluid
Inventor: KAMEN DEAN
IPC: A61M5/168
Filed: 2012-12-21
Abstract: A peristaltic pump (719), and related system method are provided. The peristaltic pump includes a cam shaft, first and second pinch-valve cams (720, 726), first and second pinch-valve cam followers, a plunger cam (722), a plunger-cam follower, a tube receiver, and a spring-biased plunger (723, 724, 725). The first and second pinch-valve cams (720, 726) are coupled to the cam shaft. The first and second pinch-valve cam followers each engage the first and second pinch-valve cams, respectively. The plunger cam (722) is coupled to the cam shaft. The plunger-cam follower engages the plunger cam. The tube receiver is configured to receive a tube (728). The spring-biased plunger is coupled to the plunger-cam follower such that the expansion of the plunger cam along a radial angle intersecting the plunger-cam follower as the cam shaft rotates pushes the plunger cam follower towards the plunger and thereby disengages the spring-biased plunger from the tube. A spring coupled to the spring-biased plunger biases the spring-biased plunger to apply the crushing force to the tube (728). In other embodiments the plunger may be pivotally mounted to the pump housing.
