CEMENT CALCINATION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DRYING HIGHLY HYDROUS ORGANIC WASTE

摘要

[Problems] To provide a cement burning apparatus and a method of method of drying high-water-content organic waste capable of drying organic waste with high water content precluding the possibility of explosion; not incurring decreased thermal efficiency of a cement kiln; and more efficiently drying organic waste with high water content. [Means for Solving Problems] The cement burning apparatus 1 comprises a dryer 6, to which combustion gas is fed from an exhaust gas passage, which runs from an outlet duct of a calciner 4 to an outlet duct of a preheater 3 of a cement kiln 2, for drying high-water-content organic waste of which water content is 40 mass percent or more. As the dryer 6, a grinding-type flash dryer, which directly contacts the combustion gas G with the organic waste W and dries the organic waste W while grinding it, can be used. Since oxygen concentration in the combustion gas extracted from the range described above is low, there is no danger of explosion, and temperature thereof is 450 to 900 °C so that the organic waste may sufficiently be dried. The cement burning apparatus may further comprise the second exhaust gas passage 8 for returning gas exhausted from the dryer 6 to the above-mentioned range.
