    Abstract: The invention relates to a process plant (20) for converting a solid input material into a solid process product. The process plant (20) includes a calciner which is connected to a heat exchanger (26) and to which the input material can be continuously supplied for heating in order to transform the input material into an intermediate product. In the process plant (20) there is a kiln for converting the intermediate product into the process product by means of thermal treatment, raw gas being produced in doing so. The process plant (20) has a raw gas line system (50) comprising a raw gas line (50.1) which extends from the kiln to the calciner and through which the raw gas can flow from the kiln into the calciner for transferring raw gas heat to the input material, and includes a cooling device for cooling the process product after the thermal treatment in the kiln by transferring heat from the process product to a cooling gas containing oxygen, as a result of which a hot gas containing oxygen is generated. According to the invention, in the process plant (20) there is a waste air purification device for oxidizing raw gas, which is connected to the calciner via a raw gas line system (50), wherein a hot gas line system which is used for supplying hot gas generated from the cooling device is attached to the raw gas line system (50). The invention also relates to a method for converting a solid input material into a solid process product and to a method for purifying raw gas produced during the manufacture of cement.

    Abstract: A pelletizing process, having two distinct serial stages. In the first stage, crude (or green) pellets of a given ore, or a mixture of ores (such as iron ore, manganese ore and other minerals), are produced, while in the second stage, a Device for Improvement of Crude Pellets, is used. The Device includes a slightly elastic and smooth surface, with reduced attrition rate, that may be striated, and that, encircled in itself, forms a cylindrical geometric hollow figure supported by a metallic structure, also cylindrical, with the set forming a finishing drum. The Device rotates with an inner and continuous charge of ore pellets, and can rearrange the structure of such pellets, improving their physical quality: compressive strength, sphericity and surface finishing, and assimilate fines generated during previous processes. This device allows application of diverse materials to the pellets to add required extra properties per specificities of subsequent industrial processes.

    Abstract: A kiln comprising a cylindrical drum (11) arranged to rotate about a generally horizontal central axis, the drum configured such that rotation will cause particulate material to flow from one end (13) of the drum to the other end (15). The one end being closed by an end assembly (23) fixed relative to a support structure. An inner face of the drum provides a plurality of ports (29) spaced about, and opening into, an interior of the drum,. The ports (29) being connected to the end assembly (23) via a set of passageways (27). The end assembly (23) having an opening (25) connected to a source of air (31) and positioned such that, on rotation of the drum, one or more passageways come into fluid communication with the opening for limiting air flow to the ports.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing cement clinker in a plant having a cyclone preheater, a precalcination reactor, a rotary furnace and a clinker cooler. In the process, the flue gases from the furnace are conducted to the precalcination reactor, or even to the cyclone preheater. According to the invention, the precalcination reactor is fed with an oxygen-rich gas, the nitrogen content of which is less than 30%, constituting the sole oxygen source for said reactor, and a portion leaving the cyclone preheater is recycled into the plant so as to obtain a suitable flux necessary for suspending matter in said preheater, while the other portion, rich in carbon dioxide, is adapted for the purpose of a treatment for limiting the amount of carbon dioxide discharged into the atmosphere, such as particularly sequestration.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a furnace (10), its method of operation and control. The invention overcomes problems associated with existing furnaces by improving the recovery rate of waste metal.In a preferred embodiment the furnace (10) comprises a cylindrical body of constant internal diameter. The furnace body (12) is mounted on a frame (15) pivoted to a ground members (16a and 16b), the furnace body (12) is adapted to be reclined or inclined or at various angles (α and β); a burner (30) to heat the furnace, and a door (19a, 19b) for sealing an open end (14).As the internal walls of the furnace body (12) are of a constant diameter, it is no longer necessary to incline the furnace (10) to such a degree in order to pour molten metal, because there is no narrow neck (which previously acted like a weir).In a preferred embodiment combustion air is routed through the door hinge to the burner (30). As a result the air/fuel delivery system has gas tight rotary and elbow joints is attached to the furnace (10) and tilts and moves with the furnace (10).An artificial intelligence system monitors process variables and controls the operation of the furnace (10).
