Complex research and innovation program of the raw materials thermal treatment

Abstract

Thermal treatment of raw materials takes place in many industries, especially in mining and processing industry. Thermal processes significantly contribute to the total cost of production and their technical and technological level significantly impacts the competitiveness of manufacturing companies in world markets. In the field of thermal treatment of carbonate raw materials, shaft furnaces, rotary kilns and deck furnaces are mainly used. By background optimizing of these aggregates, their rationalization opportunities have been practically exhausted. Further improvement is possible by moving the existing innovation borders or changing to different design solutions.
