An insulating brick was developed and evaluated as a potential recycling Waste Limestone (WL) with Melting Slag (MS). We aimed at analyzing the parameters affecting the insulating brick manufacture to enhance the recyclability of WL. In this study, The thermal conductivity, compressive strength and apparent porosity of prepared brick were measured with the addition of aluminum dross and the molar ratio of the alkali activator. The thermal conductivity, compressive strength and apparent porosity were 0.28 W/mK, 2.41 MPa and 44.72% respectively at a mixing ratio of 9.5 : 0.5wt%, 1.5 M SiO2/Na2O, 3wt% aluminum dross. Thus, it met the standards of insulating fire bricks (KS L 3301).

The objectives of this study were to investigate the desulfurization kinetics of paper sludge and limestone in a fluidized bed reactor according to bed temperature and air velocity. The experimental results were presented as follows ; First, the bed temperature had a great influence on the desulfurization efficiency of limestone and paper sludge. In paper sludge, the optimum condition in desulfurization temperature was at 800℃ and in limestone, that was at 850℃ or 900℃. Second, as air velocity increased, the desulfurization efficiency(or the absorbed amount of sulfur dioxide) by limestone and paper sludge decreased. And the absorbed amount of sulfur dioxide by paper sludge was larger than that of by limestone. Third, as the velocity increased and the optimum desulfurization temperature became, ks and the removal efficiency increased. So, ks, kd highly depended on the air velocity and bed temperature.
