Process for the production of cement in a fluidized bed

摘要

A process for producing cement wherein preheated, partially calcined powder-form raw material is finally calcined in a fluidized bed and is discharged to a cooler through which a cooling stream of air passes. A part of the cooling air passes into the fluidized bed from below and another part of the cooling air, together with the partially calcined material, passes into the fluidized bed from the side. The rates of material flow to and from the fluidized bed is regulated to maintain a substantially uniform intersticial ratio between the upper and lower regions of the fluidized bed.
