Abstract
Abstract The method of beneficiating kiln dusts which has insufficient reactive properties to produce desired pozzolanic reactions which method comprises adding small amounts of a material selected from the group consisting of CaO, calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. The beneficiated dusts can be utilized with fly ash or fly ash and a filler to produce pozzolanic reactions and provide a durable mass.
