An interdisciplinary physical-chemical approach for characterization of arsenic in a calciner residue dump in Cornwall (UK) [An article from: Environmental Pollution] by J.T. van Elteren
-
This allows the differentiation of fuel for calcining the clinker: higher calorific fuel for ensuring high temperatures in the sintering zone of the rotary kiln and less calorific fuel for ensuring decomposition of the carbonate component in the pre-calciner.

Another advantage, which is particularly important from the energy point of view, is that low-grade fuels can be burned in the pre-calciner thus saving high-grade fuels such as fuel oil, gas and high-grade coal.

-
Therefore, it is possible to feed up to 75 per cent of the fuel into the secondary furnace in kilns with pre-calciners (in practice normally up to 60 per cent is burnt in the pre-calciner).

-
For a given capacity, the volume of the kiln can be reduced by approximately 60 per cent as compared to the suspension pre-heater-kiln system, because the raw meal is decarbonized up to 90 per cent in the pre-calciner.
2. Energy efficiency in the production of high-energy content building materials 1995
-
This is possible because the pre-calciner operates at a temperature of about 900°C which is needed for decarbonation of the raw mix.

It now corresponds, more or less, to the stuff which on the mine is sent to the calciner.
