Abstract: The invention relates to a device (30) for the extraction and the transfer of granular mineral materials at high temperature contained in a first enclosure including a fixed upper part (32) and a mobile lower part (34) delimiting a duct (36), the mobile lower part (34) being movable in a determined direction (50) between a advanced position and a retracted position, and vice versa, to allow the flow of the granular mineral materials in the duct (36). The device further includes means (78, 80) for moving and guiding the mobile part (34) relative to the fixed part (32). The fixed part (32) and the mobile part (34) each comprise a metal outer shell (38, 58), and an inner shell (40; 60) made by stacking at least a first coating (42; 62) of thermally insulating material mounted on the metal outer shell (38; 58), and a second coating (44; 64) of refractory material mounted on the first coating (42, 62).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a sulfoaluminous or belitic sulfoaluminous clinker from a raw mix formed from a mixture including minerals containing calcium, aluminum, silica, iron, and sulfur, preferably in sulfate form, and is characterized in that the method comprises the steps including: at least partially dehydrating and decarbonating the mixture through placement in a vertical kiln (1) comprising a substantially vertical chamber (2) wherein the mixture is heated, the chamber (2) of the vertical kiln (1) being supplied with hot gases the temperature of which is between 900 and 1150° C.
