Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the chemical composition parameters of the burned product, specifically setting the CaO content at 45-60 mass%, SiO2 at 15-30 mass%, Al2O3 at 8-15 mass%, and Fe2O3 at 2-5 mass%. This parameter optimization resolves the contradiction by achieving waste utilization while controlling hydration heat through balanced chemical composition.

Inventive Principle:
