PROCESS FOR DECARBONATING CARBONATED MATERIALS AND DEVICE THEREFOR
The present disclosure relates to a process for the decarbonation of limestone, dolomite or other carbonated materials. The process may include heating particles of carbonated materials in a reactor of a first circuit to obtain decarbonated particles. Particles of carbonated materials are conveyed by a first entraining gas in the first circuit for preheating. The gas includes the carbon dioxide, the gas composition being substantially free of nitrogen. The carbonated particles are separated from a first entraining gas flow. The decarbonated particles are transferred to a cooling section of a second circuit having a second entraining gas in which the conveyed decarbonated particles release a portion of their thermal energy. The decarbonated particles are separated from a second entraining gas flow. The second entraining gas is substantially free of carbon dioxide.
The invention relates to a method for producing quick lime from lime stone in a continuous regenerative shaft kiln, characterized in that, starting with standard conditions of excessive combustion air for the operation of this kiln, it especially includes a step where the excessive combustion air is progressively reduced until a content greater than 1000 ppm (in volume) of carbon monoxide is reached in the connection flue between the tanks. An increase in the content of gaseous sulphur dioxide is then observed in the gas flue, with respect to a kiln operated in standard conditions.
