Abstract
The invention comprises a method of making lime, dolomitic lime, hydraulic cement such as portland cement clinker and co-products such as pozzolan, acids, alumina, silica and the like. The method comprises providing a natural calcium-iron-aluminosilicate mineral from one or more of hyaloclastite, lava, scoria, volcanic glass, volcanic ash, or any other mineral of a basaltic or intermediate chemical composition and reacting the hyaloclastite with a first hydrochloric acid to create a first salt, precipitating the calcium ions to react with OH− to form calcium hydroxide and heating the calcium hydroxide to create calcium oxide, alite and belite.
Claims11
A method comprising:
- combining hyaloclastite with a first acid such that a first portion of the hyaloclastite reacts with the first acid to form a Ca salt, hydroxide or sulfate, wherein the hyaloclastite is basaltic hyaloclastite or intermediate basaltic hyaloclastite;
- separating the Ca salt, hydroxide or sulfate from a second portion of the hyaloclastite that does not react with the first acid;
- and
- reacting the Ca salt, hydroxide or sulfate with CO2 so that the Ca salt, hydroxide or sulfate is converted to a carbonate.
