Abstract

A process for the heat-treatment of fine-grained material which is preheated in a cyclone preheater, deacidified by additional fuel in a precalcination zone, and subsequently calcined to completion in a revolving tubular kiln. The gas temperature in the cyclone preheater and the material temperature after passage through the precalcination zone are measured, the difference between these temperatures is determined and, when the temperature difference reaches a maximum or minimum value, regulation of the fuel supply to the precalcination zone is switched to manual operation. In this way, the amount of fuel is rapidly adapted to the particular circumstances prevailing in the event of disturbances.
