A rotary kiln is a cylindrical vessel that rotates around its axis, used in a variety of industrial processes. The activation process in a rotary kiln involves three stages: drying, pyrolysis, and activation. In the drying stage, the raw material is heated to remove any moisture content. In the pyrolysis stage, the material is heated to a high ...

Rotary kilns are a large, rotating drum that can be either of the direct or indirect configuration. In the direct configuration, the kiln can be designed for either co-current (parallel) or counter-current air flow. As solids pass through the drum, the heating medium increases their temperature.

A rotary kiln incinerator breaks down or decomposes material into simple compounds via complete combustion, converting wastes to an ash residue and thereby significantly reducing waste volume. To achieve this, a direct-fired, refractory-lined rotary kiln uses a co-current (parallel) configuration, in combination with an oxygen-rich environment.
