Material increases in throughput and output of batch-type reactors are obtained by avoiding operational time losses in dumping and filling and startup. The improvements are achieved by a flexible divider which extends upwards from the bottom of the unit and which moves from one side of the reactor to the other to increase and decrease, respectively, the volumes of the sections of the reactor. One section can be functional while the other section is being emptied and refilled. The combined output of the sections approaches the output of a continuous reactor.

Calcination method and system

Номер: WO2009135688A1
Принадлежит: Claudius Peters Technologies Gmbh

The invention relates to a method for the calcination of powdery or fine-particled plaster, comprising two steps: the plaster is subjected to a flash-calcination in a calcinator (3) and the hot plaster is post-calcinated in a reaction vessel (6). According to the invention, post-calcination is carried out in the reaction vessel (6) by adding humid gas, said reaction vessel (6) not being heated. Said post-calcination takes place over a long period of time, that is at least 10 times, preferably 50 - 100 times longer than the amount of time taken for flash calcination. Said invention enables complete calcination to take place without expending additional energy, and the remaining dihydrate produced during the flash calcination is also transformed into semi-hydrate and undesired anhydrite fractions are reduced. Said method ensures consistency in the product quality and also increases product quality. The temperature in the upstream calcinator (3) can be lowered thus saving more energy. Said invention can also be used to accelerate the ageing of calcinated plaster.
