Abstract
Abstract Method and apparatus for the thermal treatment of pulverulent material in which the material is preheated and finely calcined in a calcination zone, the improvement involving pre-calcining the pulverulent material in a highly turbulent gaseous stream containing combustible fuel in a pre-calcination zone prior to final calcination.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A method for the thermal treatment of pulverulent material in which said material is preheated and finely calcined in a final calcination zone, the improvement which comprises pre-calcining said pulverulent material in a highly turbulent gaseous stream containing combustible fuel in a pre-calcination zone prior to final calcination, the linear velocity of said gaseous stream upon contacting said pulverulent material being in the range of 25 to 40 meters per second and the turbulence of said gas stream extending at least as far as the portion of said pre-calcination zone in which said fuel is burned.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
96 words
A method for the thermal treatment of pulverulent material in which said material is preheated and finely calcined in a final calcination zone, the improvement which comprises pre-calcining said pulverulent material in a highly turbulent gaseous stream containing combustible fuel in a pre-calcination zone prior to final calcination, the linear velocity of said gaseous stream upon contacting said pulverulent material being in the range of 25 to 40 meters per second and the turbulence of said gas stream extending at least as far as the portion of said pre-calcination zone in which said fuel is burned.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method according to claim 1 in which said pulverulent material is injected into said turbulent gaseous stream at an angle of from 90° to 180° to the flow direction of said stream.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method according to claim 1 in which said turbulent gaseous stream together with the oxygen required for pre-calcination is drawn directly from said calcination zone.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method according to claim 3 in which said oxygen and said turbulent stream are supplied separately to said pre-calcination zone.
