MUD BALL FORMATION IN LIME KILNS

calcined and discharged from the kiln as lime. One of the persistent problems in lime kiln operation is the formation of mud balls near the kiln feed end, pa rticularly for older units that are equipped with chains for drying the lime mud. Balls are typically round or in a slightly elongated shape, 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6") in diameter.

Preparation of High Specific Surface Area Activated Carbon …

In the preparation of high specific surface area activated carbon (AC) by KOH activation, the swelling of the reactant mixture and the particles' agglomeration deteriorates the process and the property of product. In this study, a novel method using a rotary kiln loaded with steel balls has been developed for the preparation of AC from …

Rings growth behavior within a pre-reduction rotary kiln: …

Rings in the rotary kiln are the adhesion at the inner wall of high-temperature zone of a rotary kiln. The formation of rings in the kiln may be the biggest problem, which wastes raw materials, squanders fuels and even stops production [11]. Therefore, it is necessary to study the rings growth behaviors and formation mechanism to optimize the ...
