Method of operating a continuous ceramic kiln.

摘要

A method of operating a continuous ceramic kiln having a decarbonization zone (1) characterized in that oxygen or oxygen enriched air is added to the decarbonization zone (1) to maintain the average oxygen concentration in the decarbonization zone (1) at or about a predetermined level.The predetermined level need only be adjusted for different throughputs and need not be adjusted for moderate changes in the amount of organic matter in the clay.
