The first recorded use of rotary kilns for calcining aluminium hydroxide dates to 1935. Rotary kilns have been used for calcination of hydrate to Floury type SGA (mostly in Europe and Asia) or Sandy type SGA (mostly the Americas). In 1972 the largest 4.3 m dia. × 122 m rotary kiln was supplied with a capacity of 1400 tpd sandy alumina.

The catalyst calcination process relies on an indirect-fired rotary kiln to allow for processing in an inert atmosphere, and for precise control over temperature zones, with retention time and temperature profile being key process parameters. FEECO is the leading provider of custom rotary kilns for catalyst calcination.
Qualified raw meal pellets enter the rotary kiln for calcination, and unqualified raw meal pellets return to the grinding system. In the rotary kiln, the raw material particles gradually move towards the kiln head with the rotation of the rotary kiln, and are calcined into petroleum proppant ceramsite sand at a temperature of …
Heat transfer is achieved through intimate contact between the hot gases and the fine clay particles, creating improved heat recuperation for the system when compared to a rotary kiln. An induced draft process fan controls the transport in the preheat/calcination sections, while a baghouse filter is applied for dedusting.

Solution II: Easily prevent kiln ring formation Ensuring normal rotary kiln flame is one challenge; another is material looping. This occurs when furnace charge adheres in a ring shape to the inner wall of the high-temperature zone. Minor adhesion is termed kiln skin, while thicker adhesion affecting furnace operation is called ring formation.
