Abstract

The present invention relates to a decarbonation process of carbonated materials (10), in particular limestone and dolomitic limestone in a multi-shaft vertical kiln (MSVK) comprising a first (100), a second (200), and optionally a third (300) shaft and a first plurality of fluid-supply pipes (125) opening in the first shaft (100) and a second plurality of fluid-supply pipes (225) opening in the second shaft (200), alternately heating carbonated materials (10) by a combustion of at least one fuel (20) with at least one comburent (30, 31, 32) up to a temperature range in which carbon dioxide of the carbonated materials (10) is released, the combustion of the fuel (20) and the decarbonatation generating an exhaust gas (40), said process further comprising a first step of supplying with a pipe-cooling gas (93) at least one of the second plurality of fluid- supply pipes (225), when the second shaft (200) is in a non-combustion state, in particular a regeneration state, said pipe-cooling gas (93) comprising at least 1% CO2 (dry volume) and/or less than 50% N2 (dry volume).
