Show Cement Clment From Beet fleet Sugar A A. result of experiments in French factories Is the tho production of ot an nn excellent excel lent cement as ns a n product by-product of beet beet- sugar refining The first step In the PlO production of ot sugar Rugal tram from beets Is boilIng boiling bolling boil boll ing them It has heretofore been customary cus cus- us- us tomary to throw throwaway away as valueless the scum formed on the caldrons But Dut it has now been discovered that this scum scan contains large quantities of carbonate carbonate car car- bonate of or lime It Is estimated that tons of the carb carbonates hates cnn can an be recovered from tons of at beets To this quantity of the carbonate 1100 tons of clay is a added 1 1 ed the tile resultant product being a good cement The best scum Is pumped into large reservoirs reservoirs reser roser- voll's and allowed to evaporate for tor a certain length of ot time before being mixed with the clay It Is then stirred d dor or beat beaten n for an hour before being fed Into rotary rotary ovens such as are ore used In making Portland cement The cement The Argo Argo- mint 4 |
