Abstract
Abstract A method for treating a water containing waste such as industrial sludges and animal excrements. The method comprises a first step of mixing the waste with an alkaline earth metal oxide such as calcium oxide to obtain a preliminarily dried mixture and a second step of further drying and granulation of the mixture. Fuel consumption is saved by utilization of the exothermic reaction of an alkaline earth metal oxide with water contained in the waste. The waste may be converted by the method to usable products such as fertilizers, cement materials or cement additives.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A method of treating water containing organic waste comprising the steps of: mixing 100 parts by weight of the organic waste containing 50% to 99.8% by weight of water with from 5 to 40 parts by weight of calcium oxide to produce an exothermic reaction mixture of the calcium oxide and the water containing the waste; heating the reaction mixture using the heat from the exothermic reaction mixture to obtain a preliminary dried mixture; transferring the preliminarily dried mixture to a drying kiln; further drying the preliminarily dried mixture and granulating it in the drying kiln by continuously agitating and heating the preliminarily dried mixture to a temperature of between 100° C. and 300° C. to yield a granulated product, collecting stinking exhaust gases produced by said mixing of the waste with calcium oxide; channeling the exhaust gases to a furnace; and burning the exhaust gases in the furnace to produce substantially odorless gases.
