Abstract

An improved method is disclosed for heat treating a preheated, pulverous raw material such as cement raw meal wherein a stream of oxygen containing gas is directed through a calcination chamber and the preheated raw meal and a calcining fuel are fed separately therein in a manner which provides mixing of the raw meal and the fuel and thereafter creates eddys of the mixture when it contacts the oxygen containing gas. The combined stream is directed out of the chamber and particles of raw meal are separated therefrom. A calcination plant is disclosed for practicing the method of the invention and a rotary kiln plant is disclosed for burning cement raw meal in a manner which includes at least partial calcination according to the inventive method.
