Abstract

A method for the heat treatment of fine-grained materials containing alkali compounds which liquify at critical temperatures comprises pre-heating the materials and discharging them to a rotary kiln in counterflow to the kiln exhaust gases, and introducing cooling air to the kiln in such quantity and at such temperature as to reduce the temperature of the exhaust gases to a level lower than that required for the compounds to liquify.
