Abrégé

Embodiments herein relate to systems and methods that for example may be used for calcination of lime mud, where the input material comprises calcium carbonate and calcination process products comprise calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. The calcination system comprises a heated first calcination chamber 222, configured to convert input material into a first calcination process product comprising gas and a solid compound; at least one, optionally thermally insulated, unheated second calcination chamber 200, configured to receive the first calcination process product, and convert it into a second calcination process product comprising gas and a solid compound; and a separator 118, configured to receive the second calcination process product from the thermally insulated second calcination chamber 200, and separate away the gas from the solid compound.

Embodiments herein relate to a particle separator (110) for use in a calcination system (100). The calcination system (100) comprises an electrically heated calcination reactor (108) configured to convert input material into calcination process products. The particle separator (110) comprises a chamber (401) configured to hold a fluid bed (402) of particles mixed with gas, into which fluid bed (402) gas is fluing from underneath (403), thereby separating smaller particles from larger particles by lifting said smaller particles upwards in the flow of gas. The fluid bed (402) is coupled to a transfer channel (404) arranged to provide the flow of the separated smaller particles mixed with gas to an injection arrangement (106) injecting the provided input material into said electrically heated calcination reactor (108).

Embodiments herein relate to a heat recovery arrangement for heat recovery in a system 100 for calcination of lime mud. The heat recovery arrangement comprises: an inlet 402 for receiving incoming gas preheated by excess heat generated by the system 100; an expander 404 for expanding and thereby cooling by expansion said incoming preheated gas; a heat recovery tube 406 arranged in a container 408 comprising quick lime extracted from the system 100, into which recovery tube 410 said expanded and cooled gas is led and heated by the heat from the quick lime; a compressor 412 for compressing and further heating said preheated gas; and an outlet 414 from which said compressed and further heated gas is led out and thereafter decompressed by a diffusor 418 and reentered into the system 100, whereby heat generated from the calcination process is reused.
