Patent number: 4941821Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to apparatus for the heat treatment of fine-grained material using a calcination zone which is arranged between a preheating zone and a final combustion zone, and after passing through the calcination zone a proportion of the material is introduced into exhaust air from the cooling zone and delivered therewith back to the calcination zone for the purpose of recirculation. In this way a good burn-out of the fuel used in the calcination zone and a high degree of deacidification of the material are achieved.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1989Date of Patent: July 17, 1990Assignee: Krupp Polysius AGInventors: Manfred Durr, Georg Unland, Wolfgang Rother, Gunter Driemeier, Heinz-Herbert Schmits
