A cement kiln chlorine/sulfur bypass system wherein the equipment cost is
suppressed and the sulfur included in a combustion gas bled from a cement
kiln is separated and effectively utilized. The cement kiln
chlorine/sulfur bypass system comprises an air bleed means for bleeding a
kiln exhaust gas passage, which runs from the end of the cement kiln to a
bottom cyclone, of a part of the combustion gas, a separating means for
separating dust in the gas bled by the air bleed means into coarse
particles and fine particles, and a wet dust collector for collecting
dust from the gas containing the fine particles separated by the
separating means. The separating means is preferably a classifier in
which the cut size is changeable. The wet dust collector is preferably a
mixing scrubber. The mixing scrubber preferably comprises a circulating
liquid tank to which dust slurry collected by the mixing scrubber is
supplied and a circulating system by which a part of the dust slurry in
the circulating liquid tank is returned to the mixing scrubber.
