A biofuel that includes a blend of municipal solid waste, selected recyclables, and/or construction and demolition waste including about 40% to 60% wood, about 10% to 20% paper, about 10% to 20% cardboard, about 5% to 10% non-chlorinated plastics, about 5% to 10% rags, about 5% to 10% rugs, and an emission reducing agent, the emission reducing agent being one or more of urea, calcium hydroxide, hydroquinone, anthraquinone, ammonium hydroxide, ammonia, and an ammonium compound.
A method of producing Portland cement includes the steps of: preparing a raw material of the Portland cement; preparing Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) ash; mixing the raw material and the MSW ash to obtain a mixture; feeding the mixture into a kiln; and operating the kiln to obtain the Portland cement. In the step of mixing the raw material and the MSW ash, the raw material may be mixed with the MSW ash, so that a weight% of the MSW ash is within a range of 1% to 60%. The method of producing Portland cement may further include the step of analyzing the MSW ash to determine a composition thereof, so that the raw material may be mixed with the MSW ash according to the composition of the MSW ash.

Abstract:
An insulative window shade assembly of the roll-up type for windows or like openings comprises a flexible sheet of shade material essentially of the size in area of the window or other opening to be insulated. The flexible sheet of material in its inoperative position is contained in a header or casing mounted at the top of the opening and extending across the width of the opening. The casing contains a spring-actuated roller upon which the sheet of shade material is wound with the leading edge protruding through a longitudinal slot or opening in the casing. The system further provides two side guides or channels mounted at the sides of the window or opening, and in which the channels contain a pile fabric to seal the sides of the flexible sheet when unrolled to the operative or insulative position. The leading edge of the sheet of flexible material is provided with a bar or rigid member constructed with means for securing it in a co-acting gripping device at the base of the window or opening whereby the shade is secured and sealed at the base or bottom of the window. The gripping means is desirably adjustable so that it can be secured on a horizontal or vertical supporting surface.

Abstract:
The potential K. sub. 2 O content of cement clinker due to the presence of potassium compounds in the raw feed mix is substantially eliminated by introducing an active agent into the kiln along with or in conjunction with the fuel used to fire the kiln. The active agent is effective to convert K. sub. 2 O to KCl and preferably is a chlorinated organic waste product burned along with the fuel.
