This invention describes the use of a fluidized bed reactor in the carbonation of a solid, inorganic and alkaline particulate material which contains alkaline metal salts. It also describes a method for treating cement kiln dust (CKD) containing alkaline metal salts. The treatment method comprises two steps: (a) a hydration step; and (b) a carbonation step, wherein the carbonation step is carried out in a fluidized bed reactor. In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the treated CKD is used as an aggregate in sulfur polymer concrete (SPC). Accordingly, the present invention also provides a method for producing SPC, which method comprises heating and mixing treated CKD of the present invention, elemental sulfur and modified sulfur to produce a mixture. The SPC can be used as a barrier to restrict permeation of matter, e.g. in a containment construction for storing matter such as hazardous waste.

1. A method for the carbonation of a solid, inorganic and alkaline particulate material which contains alkaline metal salts, which method uses a fluidized bed reactor to effect the carbonation, wherein the material is hydrated cement kiln dust (CKD) having a moisture content of 20% by weight or less. 2. A method for treating CKD containing alkaline metal salts, which method comprises (1) a hydration step, (2) a drying step and (3) a carbonation step, wherein the carbonation step is carried out in a fluidized bed reactor, and wherein if the hydrated CKD resulting from step (2) comprises particles greater than 10 mm in size at their widest point the method further comprises a fractionating step between steps (2) and (3), which fractionating step involves removing particles greater than 10 mm in size at their widest point. 3. A method according to claim 2 wherein in the hydration step the CKD is mixed with water at a temperature of 35-40° C. for a total time of at least 20 minutes, wherein the weight ratio of CKD to water is from 1:1 to 3:1. 4. A method for treating CKD according to claim 2 in which the hydration step involves mixing the CKD and the water at 400 to 800 rpm for 10 to 30 minutes. 5. A method according to claim 2 wherein in the drying step the moisture content of the hydrated CKD is reduced to less than 20% by weight. 6. A method according to claim 5 wherein the drying step involves heating the hydrated CKD to reduce the moisture content of the hydrated CKD to 7 to 12% by weight. 7. A method according to claim 2 in which the drying step is done at 70 to 90° C. for a period of 12 to 48 hours. 8. A method according to claim 2 which includes a fractionating step after the drying step but before the carbonation step, which fractionating step involves removing particles greater than 2 mm at their widest point, and is carried out by sieving. 9. A method according to claim 2 wherein the carbonation step comprises exposing the hydrated CKD to a source of carbon dioxide. 10. A method according to claim 9 wherein in step (3) the hydrated CKD is exposed to carbon dioxide gas at a pressure of 1 to 2 bar for 20 to 60 minutes. 11. A method according to claim 2 wherein the flow rate of the gas fed into the fluidized bed reactor in the carbonation step is at least 2 liter/min. 12.
