Abstract
Abstract An apparatus and method for the treatment of fine grained materials including a calcining furnace, a plurality of cyclone separators arranged in series, with exhaust means delivering exhaust gases from the calcining furnace to one of the cyclone separators, with at least the first two of the plurality of cyclone separators being at substantially the same vertical height. Supplemental combustion means consisting of a fuel injection means and a combustion air injection means are included in the path of the exhaust gases passing from the furnace through the plurality of cyclone separators to render the system more efficient and to reduce the size of the components.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A system for the treatment of fine grained materials comprising: a rotary kiln, a plurality of cyclone separators arranged in series, exhaust means delivering exhaust gases from said rotary kiln to one of said cyclone separators, discharge means in said one cyclone separator delivering heat treated solids from said cyclone separator to said rotary kiln, at least the first two of said plurality of cyclone separators being at substantially the same vertical height, conduit means interconnecting said first two cyclone separators, and supplemental combustion means consisting of means for injecting fuel and means for injecting combustion air located in the path of said exhaust gases passing from said kiln through said plurality of cyclone separators.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
115 words
A system for the treatment of fine grained materials comprising: a rotary kiln, a plurality of cyclone separators arranged in series, exhaust means delivering exhaust gases from said rotary kiln to one of said cyclone separators, discharge means in said one cyclone separator delivering heat treated solids from said cyclone separator to said rotary kiln, at least the first two of said plurality of cyclone separators being at substantially the same vertical height, conduit means interconnecting said first two cyclone separators, and supplemental combustion means consisting of means for injecting fuel and means for injecting combustion air located in the path of said exhaust gases passing from said kiln through said plurality of cyclone separators.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A system according to claim 1 in which said supplemental combustion means is located in said conduit means interconnecting said first two cyclone separators.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A system according to claim 1 in which said supplemental combustion means is located between said rotary kiln and the first of said two cyclone separators.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A system according to claim 1 in which said plurality of cyclone separators is arranged superimposed in the direction of flow of said exhaust gases.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
A system according to claim 1 in which said conduit means has an arcuate bend therein and is connected to receive gases substantially vertically from the first of said first two cyclone separators and introduce it substantially horizontally into the second of said first two cyclone separators.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
45 words
A system according to claim 1 which includes: a cooler receiving the calcined particles from said rotary kiln, and conduit means delivering exhaust gases from said cooler into the exhaust gas conduit between said rotary kiln and the first of said first two cyclone separators.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
A system according to claim 1 which includes: a cooler receiving the calcined particles from said rotary kiln, and conduit means delivering exhaust gases from said cooler to said conduit means interconnecting said first two cyclone separators.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
A system according to claim 1 which includes means for partially withdrawing gases from said exhaust means.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
97 words
A method for the treatment of particles in a rotary kiln and a plurality of cyclone separators which comprises: passing exhaust gases from said rotary kiln sequentially through said cyclone separators, at least the first two of said cyclone separators being at substantially the same vertical level, passing raw material particles into said cyclone separators in countercurrent contact with the exhaust gases passing therethrough, passing heat treated material from one of said first two cyclone separators into said rotary kiln, and supplying additional combustion heat to said particles as they pass between said first two cyclone separators.
