Process and plant for producing metal oxide from metal salts

摘要

The present invention relates to the production of metal oxide from metal salts, in particular from aluminum hydroxide, wherein the metal salt is dried in a drying means, preheated in at least one preheating stage, and calcined to metal oxide in a fluidized-bed reactor, and wherein the metal oxide obtained then is cooled. To reduce the energy demand of a calcining plant, the metal salt is cleaned in at least one filter before being dried and steam formed in the drying means is recirculated into the filter.
