As an oxidising agent for the fuel, oxygen has the advantage over air that no nitrogen is introduced into the lime kiln. To moderate the combustion temperature, the oxygen is mixed with kiln exhaust gas (CO 2 recirculation 1 in Figure 7) and fed to the lime kiln as an oxidising agent for the fuel. The oxidising agent, which has a temperature of ...
Shaft kiln, also known as vertical kiln, vertical shaft kiln, is a vertical and fixed clinker firing equipment.The raw meal ball with coal is fed into cement kiln from the kiln crown, and raw meal ball moves from top to bottom, air move from bottom to top. In fact, the physical and chemical changes of shaft kiln are similar to that of cement rotary kiln.

Usually fired with low-grade coal fines, but may be adapted to other fuels. Firing shaft is very well insulated on all four sides, minimizing heat loss. Output: Each batch of bricks is made up of four layers, making a total of 320 bricks per batch. Many of these kilns put out 10,000-15,000 bricks per day (this figure may refer to a 2-shaft kiln).
This type of kilns can be used when the limestone is available as dry hard rock. Shaft kilns of various designs are available, e.g., single shaft kiln, twin shaft kilns, etc. The quality of the calcined lime and the energy efficiency of calcination depend upon the design of the kiln. 5.3.1 Single Shaft Kiln
