Abstract

In the method according to the invention for producing cement clinker, raw cement meal is preheated in a preheater, the preheated raw cement meal is precalcined in a calciner and the precalcined raw cement meal is burnt in a kiln, fuel and combustion air having an oxygen content of at least 75 mol % being used in the calciner, and the raw cement meal being precalcined in a fluidized bed in the calciner. The exhaust gases occurring in the kiln are delivered to the preheater, bypassing the calciner, and the exhaust gases of the calciner are delivered to a CO 2 preparation device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An apparatus for producing cement clinker comprising:
a. a first preheater for preheating raw cement meal, and a second preheater for preheating raw cement meal,
b. a calciner in the form of a fluidized bed reactor, said calciner precalcining the preheated raw cement meal, said calciner having means for delivering fuel, means for delivering combustion air having an oxygen content of at least 75 mol % and means for delivering preheated raw cement meal, said calciner having a calciner exhaust gas duct connected to said second preheater and delivering exhaust gases of the calciner to the second preheater, said second preheater connected to a CO2 preparation device and delivering the exhaust gases of the calciner to the CO2 preparation device, and
c. a kiln burning precalcined raw cement meal, said kiln having a kiln exhaust gas duct connected to said first preheater and bypassing said calciner to deliver the kiln exhaust gases occurring in the kiln into the first preheater to directly contact the contents of the first preheater
characterised in that said calciner has means for removing precalcined raw cement meal, said means for removing precalcined raw cement meal being arranged below an expansion point of said fluidised bed reactor and being connected to said kiln,
characterised in that said calciner has a porous or perforated inflow base to which is connected said means for delivering combustion air.

2. Apparatus according to claim 1 , characterised in that said CO2 preparation device comprises a device for CO2 liquefaction.

3. Apparatus according to claim 1 , characterised in that said calciner has means for removing the precalcined raw cement meal, said means being constructed in the form of a siphon.

4. Apparatus according to claim 1 , characterised in that said porous inflow base is formed by a bulk material layer.

5. Apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising means for delivering said bulk material layer and means for removing said bulk material layer.

6. Apparatus according to claim 1 , characterised in that said calciner is connected to at least one separator for dust removal.

7. Apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising a cooler for cooling calciner exhaust provided between said calciner and said separator.
