    A rotary kiln is a pyroprocessing device used to raise materials to a high temperature (calcination) in a continuous process. Materials produced using rotary kilns include: Cement; Lime; Refractories; Metakaolin; Titanium dioxide; Alumina; Vermiculite; Iron ore pellets; They are also used for roasting a wide variety of sulfide ores prior to ...

  3. Expanded clay aggregate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_clay_aggregate

    Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) or expanded clay (exclay) is a lightweight aggregate made by heating clay to around 1,200 °C (2,190 °F) in a rotary kiln. The heating process causes gases trapped in the clay to expand, forming thousands of small bubbles and giving the material a porous structure.

    The second raw material (materials in the rawmix other than limestone) depend on the purity of the limestone. Some of the second raw materials used are: clay, shale, sand, iron ore, bauxite, fly ash and slag. Portland cement clinker is made by heating a homogeneous mixture of raw materials in a rotary kiln at high temperature. The products of ...

    The waste streams also often contain combustible materials which allow the substitution of part of the fossil fuel normally used in the process. Waste materials used in cement kilns as a fuel supplement: [32] Car and truck tires – steel belts are easily tolerated in the kilns; Paint sludge from automobile industries; Waste solvents and lubricants

    PAHs (according to EPA 610) in the exhaust gas of rotary kilns usually appear at a distribution dominated by naphthalene, which accounts for a share of more than 90% by mass. The rotary kiln systems of the cement industry destroy virtually completely the PAHs input via fuels. Emissions are generated from organic constituents in the raw material.

    The concept of using a rotary kiln for the recovery of Zinc by volatization dates to at least 1888. [1] A process was patented by Edward Dedolph in 1910. Subsequently, the Dedpolph patent was taken up and developed by Metallgesellschaft (Frankfurt) with Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron but without leading to a production scale ready process.
