A coke calcining apparatus comprises a rotary kiln (1), an intermediate cooler (3) installed outside of but rotating unitarily with the kiln at an intermediate part thereof and having inlets (32) and outlets (33) respectively communicating with the upstream and downstream interiors (A,B) of the kiln, and an annular weir (7) fixed to and around the inner wall surface of the kiln at a part thereof between the inlets and outlets of the cooler and functioning to cause the entire quantity of coke (6) which has been subjected to a first-stage calcination at 600 DEG to 1,000 DEG C. in the upstream interior (A) to flow through the cooler (3). The coke thus cooled to 200 DEG C. or lower is subjected to a second-stage calcination at 1,200 DEG to 1,400 DEG C. in the downstream interior (B) for 10 to 30 minutes. |
