What Industrial Equipment Used for Calcination and Roasting

Both calcination and roasting require specialized industrial equipment to achieve the desired chemical reactions efficiently.

Equipment for Calcination

• Rotary Kilns: Large, rotating cylinders used for calcining ores at controlled temperatures. Common in the production of lime and cement.
• Calcining Furnaces: These furnaces provide a controlled atmosphere for the calcination process, allowing precise control over temperature and air supply.

Equipment for Roasting

• Roasting Furnaces: These furnaces are designed to provide the high heat and oxygen supply necessary for roasting ores, particularly sulfides.
• Fluidized Bed Reactors: In some cases, a fluidized bed reactor is used for roasting, where air is passed through a bed of solid ore particles to improve heat transfer and oxidation.
