calciners
Calciners are industrial furnaces or reactors designed to remove volatile components from solids by heating, a process known as calcination. Calcination involves the thermal decomposition or dehydration of materials such as carbonates and hydrates, producing a more reactive or economically usable product. The term covers a range of equipment and configurations used across mining, chemical processing, and manufacturing.
Calciners may operate as direct-fired or indirect-fired units and appear in several formats, including rotary calciners,
Common applications include lime manufacture (transforming limestone to lime), cement production, and various chemical or metallurgical
Materials processed by calciners range from limestone and dolomite to clays and other mineral feeds, as well
