Experimental lime kiln for small scale production of lime binders
Válek, Jan ; Matas, Tomáš ; Jiroušek, Josef
A small scale lime kiln was designed and built in order to evaluate production of historic lime binders. The kiln does not copy any specific historic model. It is designed to simulate variety of “traditional” lime calcination procedures. The construction of the kiln is presented in details. The prototype is equipped with sensors and the burning process is monitored by a set of thermocouples in three levels, air flow on the air inlet and composition of emissions (CO, CO2 and O2). The obtained data are used for assessment of the whole burning process and its optimisation.
Historic Mortars - HMC 2010 and RILEM TC 203-RHM final workshop
Válek, Jan ; Groot, C. ; Hughes, J.
The HMC2010 conference and TC 203-RHM final workshop took place in Prague 22-24 September 2011. The event was organised by the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ITAM AV ČR) in cooperation with RILEM. The conference was chaired by J. Válek of ITAM. The final workshop was chaired the TC 203-RHM chairman and its secretary C. Groot of TÚ Delft and J. Hughes of University of the West of Scotland. Members of the TC 203-RHM were acting also as the International Scientific Committee members of the conference. The HMC2010 Organising Committee was composed of the staff members of ITAM AV ČR. The event was attended by 190 participants from 30 countries. Such a number of participants was regarded as a great success considering its rather narrow and specific scope and also the fact that it was only the 2nd conference in this future to be regular series.
