Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of raw mix for the production of cement and sulphuric acid by the cement-sulphuric acid process, which mix comprises calcium sulphate, coke and other additives, by separate grinding of the materials used, which comprises grinding the coke alone to a degree of comminution corresponding to a grain size spectrum, by weight, of <60 μ 25 to 40% 60 to 90 μ 8 to 15% >90 μ 45 to 70% and then mixing the ground coke with a finely ground mixture of calcium sulphate and the remaining additives, and the use of such raw mix in the production of cement and sulphuric acid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A process for the preparation of a raw mix suitable for use in the production of cement and sulphuric acid by the cement-sulphuric acid process, which comprises separately grinding coke to a degree of comminution such that 25 to 40% by weight of the ground coke has a grain size of less than 60μ, 8 to 15% by weight of the ground coke has a grain size of 60 to 90μ, and 45 to 70% by weight of the ground coke has a grain size of greater than 90μ, and mixing the ground coke with a ground mixture of calcium sulphate and remaining additives.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A process for the preparation of a raw mix suitable for use in the production of cement and sulphuric acid by the cement-sulphuric acid process, which comprises separately grinding coke to a degree of comminution such that 25 to 40% by weight of the ground coke has a grain size of less than 60μ, 8 to 15% by weight of the ground coke has a grain size of 60 to 90μ, and 45 to 70% by weight of the ground coke has a grain size of greater than 90μ, and mixing the ground coke with a ground mixture of calcium sulphate and remaining additives.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
