Applications - Calcination & Drying

Calcination (also referred to as calcining) is a thermal treatment process applied to ores and other solid materials in order to bring about a thermal decomposition, phase transition, or removal of a volatile fraction.  The calcination process normally takes place at temperatures below the melting point of the product materials.  Calcination takes place in the absence of air, which is to be distinguished from roasting, where more complex gas-solid reactions take place between the furnace atmosphere and the solids.

Calcining often occurs after a precipitation and dewatering operation and is usually very energy intensive.

Intalysis has solutions to cope with temperature changes and bed depth compensation.
