  2. Rotary kiln - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_kiln

    The rotary kiln was invented in 1873 by Frederick Ransome. [1] He filed several patents in 1885-1887, but his experiments with the idea were not a commercial success. Nevertheless, his designs provided the basis for successful kilns in the US from 1891, subsequently emulated worldwide.

  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.

  4. Waelz process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waelz_process

    The Waelz process is a method of recovering zinc and other relatively low boiling point metals from metallurgical waste (typically electric arc furnace flue dust) and other recycled materials using a rotary kiln (waelz kiln). The zinc enriched product is referred to as waelz oxide, and the reduced zinc by product as waelz slag.

  5. Becher process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becher_Process

    Reduction is performed in a rotary kiln with pseudobrookite (Fe 2 O 3.TiO 2), coal, and sulfur, then heated to a temperature greater than 1200 °C. [11] The iron oxide in the mineral grains is reduced to metallic iron to produce reduced ilmenite: Fe 2 O 3 ·TiO 2 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + TiO 2 + 3 CO 2

  6. Magnetization roasting technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetization_roasting...

    Rotary Kiln Magnetic Roasting. The main steps of magnetization roasting in rotary kiln include: Raw material preparation: Mix the iron ore with the appropriate amount of reducing agent, and add the binder if necessary to improve the roasting effect. Feed: The mixture is uniformly fed into the kiln head of the rotary kiln through the feed device.

  7. Cement kiln - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_kiln

    Rotary kilns run 24 hours a day, and are typically stopped only for a few days once or twice a year for essential maintenance. One of the main maintenance works on rotary kilns is tyre and roller surface machining and grinding works which can be done while the kiln works in full operation at speeds up to 3.5 rpm.

  8. Lime kiln - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_kiln

    Rotary lime kiln (rust-colored horizontal tube at right) with preheater, Wyoming, 2010 Traditional lime kiln in Sri Lanka. A lime kiln is a kiln used for the calcination of limestone (calcium carbonate) to produce the form of lime called quicklime (calcium oxide). The chemical equation for this reaction is CaCO 3 + heat → CaO + CO 2

  9. Krupp–Renn process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krupp–Renn_Process

    View of the six rotary furnaces at the Essen–Borbeck direct reduction plant, c. 1964. The Krupp–Renn process was a direct reduction steelmaking process used from the 1930s to the 1970s. It used a rotary furnace and was one of the few technically and commercially successful direct reduction processes in the world, acting as an alternative to ...
