Clay calcining technologies: the rotary kiln approach
of a rotary kiln calciner. Advantages of the rotary kiln approach include: • drying and calcination in the same piece of equipment • no raw material grinding required. (feedstock only has to be sized to 50mm) • existing, running or decommissioned equipment can be adapted for clay calcination, which fast tracks a calcination project execution
Reactions in the cement kiln
In a wet-process kiln, calcining takes place after the water has been driven off, about a third of the way down the kiln. In the more modern pre-calciner kilns, the feed is calcined prior to entering the kiln. Calcining In isolation, decarbonation of calcium carbonate at 1 atmosphere takes place at 894 °C. This temperature is reduced to 500 ...
