Equipment Shaft lime kiln is comprised of kiln shell, inner sleeve and ejector. The kiln shell and sleeve are homocentrie equipped to form an annular space, where the lime stone are calcined Refractory brick are laid inside external kiln shell (made of normal carbon steel ). Inner sleeve includes two cylinders. The upper cylinder is hanged at top of kiln, and lower cylinder is placed at lower part of kiln. Both cylinders are boil steel coiled. There are two layers, in-between which reserves an annular space. Inside the annular space, air is cooled, Both sides of inside sleeve are placed with refractory materials. The upper and lower cylinder function differently. The upper cylinder extracts high temperature waste air to spray air. The lower cylinder is to produce circulating air and to form the co-current flow calcining. In addition, air flow are equal distributed. The upper and lower cylinder are manufactured by two cylinders nested together. Space is left between the two steel cylinders for air cooling. 800~920'C high temperature mixed gas passes inside the upper and lower cylinder. Refractory materials, mainly Magnesia spinel brick, high purity mullite, high-alumina brick, clay brick, high density clay brick, diatomaceous brick, high alumina insulating bricks, clay insulating bricks, castables, no asbestos calcium silicate board, refractory fiber, and other bulk material and other bulk materials, are laid outside the sleeve. There are about 36 types of bricks. Refractory material of kiln totals about 1460 tones. 2/8 -F hi? on oO SWCHINA. cee 4, Lime production process The lime stone are conveyed to top of kiln by feeding hopper 1 automatically, and then enter the revolving distribution equipment by chute. Lime stone passes through feeding hopper 2 to distributing machine of upper cylinder. Lime stone are distributed again before entering the kiln. The feeding hopper can lock air. ‘The annular space is made by kiln shell (4) and inner cylinder (5 and 6.) Lime stone arrive at calcining zone after passing PZ. There are two bumers platform (platform 7 and platform 8). Bumer nozzles are equipped uniformly on the kiln, There are two layer of bummer nozzles, each has 6 sets of bumer nozzles. There are 3 parts of caleining zone, namely UB, MB and PF. UB and MB is back flow Lime enter CZ after passing PF. As waste air fan is extracting at the top of kiln, cooling air ing and PF is parallel flow calcining, is drawn into the kiln to cool lime. The lime is driven by lime discharge device (11), passing lime discharging platform (12) and enter bottom silo (13). Lime vibrating conveyer will convey away the lime from bottom silo regularly. Cireulating gas inlet hole (15) and air pipe are placed on cylinder (6). The circulating air enter the inner eylinder . To guarantee the air flow is equally placed on the cross section, upper and lower calcining chambers (9 and 10) are equally placed by the cycle, as well as the circulating gas inlet hole. Upper bridge (16) is made by refractory material and is located at top of calcining chamber. As the lime stone is moving downwards, V-shaped is left at the upper (bridge). Lime stone are placed at both sides. Heat penetrate into the lime stone by this space and caleined, There are 12 bridges on the ring cross section to ensure that lime stone are calcined evenly. Both external and internal sides of inner sleeve cylinder are equipped with refractory material. The cylinders are air-cooled. After cooling air come out from outlet duct (17) on bridge(16) and then enter the cooling air ring pipe (18). Part of the cooling air enter bumer nozzle as secondary wind to support burning, the other part cooling air are disposed to open air by bleeder on the ring pipe. Compressed air is pre-heated to 500°C heat exchanger. Heat source is waste gas from upper aS cylinder. The pre-heated air enter ring pipe (24) and then to the ejecting pipe 3/5 PecS3c ) pret dane DRARA Parallel flow circulating air meet the cooling air at inlet point of cylinder (6), and then air rises to the circulating pipe (21) of upper bridge. The air join compressed air inside the ejector ir flow insi and then enter calcining chamber (10). High speed le ejector (19) is the driving source of circulating air. Because combustion r inside the lower calcining chamber (10 ) is abundant, the coal gas is fully burned. Part of air inside the lower calcining chamber (10) enters PF with ejector (19), and the rest enter MB with waste air fan. With decomposing of lime stone, temperature of gas in PF is lowered, Inside the upper calcining chamber (9), coal gas is redundant and hence cannot be fully burned. The left gas will meet combustion air from lower cal ing chamber to promote further combustion. In UB, most of lime stone is decomposed, so that permeation will not affect quality of lime or hurt refractory material. 70% waste air rises from PZ to annular space at top of kiln (22), and meets the rest 30% waste gas from het exchange. The waste air is de-dusted and then exhausted. 5.
