Method and installation of treating raw material for producing cement

摘要

Raw material for making cement is treated in an installation comprising a plurality of superimposed cyclones constituting a multi-stage exchanger wherein the solid raw material and gases issuing from a clinkerization furnace circulate counter-currently, and wherein at least a portion of the raw material issuing from the penultimate exchanger stage is injected into the gas current produced by the furnace. The raw material is injected in the form of a "curtain", or "screen", into an upstream section of the furnace. This novel method and the novel device for carrying out said method allow the building-up of deposits upstream of the furnace to be eliminated.
