Based on the design of the indirectly heated rotary dryer, the calciner is capable of operating at temperatures of 1100°C. Typical applications include: nickel catalysts | |||
== | ==Directly Heated Calciners== | ||
The refractory lined rotating shell has no lifting flights. Forward flow of the material is effected by the slope and rotation of the shell. Located at the discharge end, a gas or oil burner enables temperatures up to 1650°C to be achieved. For certain applications, the atmosphere within the [[Kilns|kiln]] can be controlled to give oxidizing, or slightly reducing conditions. | |||
==Indirectly Heated Calciners== | |||
Based on the design of the indirectly heated rotary dryer, the calciner is capable of operating at temperatures of 1100°C. Typical applications include: | |||
* nickel catalysts | |||
* carbon regeneration | |||
* molecular sieves | |||
* china clay | |||
