Methods and apparatus for manufacturing cement clinker from particulate cement raw material.

摘要

A description is made of a method as well as an apparatus for manufacturing cement clinker from particulate cement raw material by which method fresh raw material is preheated and possibly precalcined in a suspension preheater (1, 3) by heat exchange with hot exhaust gases, and preheated and possibly precalcined material is finally calcined and burned into clinker in a rotary kiln (7), hot clinker from the rotary kiln is cooled in a cooler (9) and dust is separated from the exhaust gases from the preheater in a filter arrangement (11). The method and the apparatus are peculiar in that dust from the filter arrangement (11) is introduced into the material inlet end of the rotary kiln (7) in a direction which is contrary to the flow direction of the kiln gases.Hereby is obtained a significant reduction of coatings on the walls of the riser duct.
