Abstract:
The present invention relates to the production of metal oxide from metal salts, in particular from aluminum hydroxide, wherein the metal salt is preheated in a first preheating stage, precalcined in a second preheating stage and calcined to metal oxide in a fluidized-bed reactor, and wherein the product obtained then is cooled in at least one suspension heat exchanger and subsequently in a multi- stage indirect cooler. To reduce the energy demand of a calcining plant, fluidizing air is supplied to the reactor with a temperature of up to 150 °C, and before entering the first preheating stage the metal salt is at least partly supplied to a hydrate drier in which it is indirectly heated with heat transfer medium from the first stage of the indirect cooler and dried.

Abstract:
A process for producing metal oxide from a metal salt includes supplying a first part of the metal salt to a hydrate drier so as to indirectly heat the first part of the metal salt in the hydrate drier using a heat transfer medium from a first stage of a multi-stage indirect cooler so as to dry the first part of the metal salt in the hydrate drier and so as to control a waste gas temperature of the process. A second part of the metal salt is guided as a partial stream past the hydrate drier. The metal salt is preheated in a first preheating stage and precalcined in a second preheating stage. The metal salt and a fluidizing gas having a temperature of 150° C. or less are supplied to a fluidized bed reactor so as to calcine the metal salt to form a metal oxide product. The metal oxide product is cooled in at least one suspension heat exchanger and then in the multi-stage indirect cooler.

Abstract:
The method for the distribution of a solid flow (m 0) drawn-off from a cyclone or a fluidized bed container (1), comprises conducting the solid flow (m 0) over a first down pipe (7) and then fluidizing at the bottom of the down pipe by supplying a carrier gas, conveying a part of the solid flow (m 1) towards the top by the carrier gas over a first riser (9) branching off from the first down pipe, leading away the remaining part of the solid flow (m 0) over a second down pipe (13) adjacent itself to the first down pipe and then fluidizing at the bottom of the second down pipe.

The supply of the carrier gas is varied at the bottom of the first and/or the second down pipe. The pressure difference over the fluidized bed container is used as controlled variable for the supply of the carrier gas to the first or the second down pipe. The supply of the carrier gas is constantly held at the bottom of the first down pipe. The pressure difference between the bottom and the head of the first and/or the second down pipe is smaller than the pressure loss corresponding to the fluidized down pipe. The pressure at the bottom of each down pipe is larger than the pressure at the head of this down pipe. The conveying air is brought beneath the first and/or the second riser in each case over a downwardly arranged nozzle. The carrier gas is admitted with low volume flow for the interruption of the solid flow in a riser, so that the minimum fluidization speed is not exceeded in the riser. An independent claim is included for a device for the distribution of a solid flow drawn-off from a cyclone or a fluidized bed container.
Abstract:
The method involves drawing off of a solid flow by a down pipe (6), and fluidizing the solid flow on a base (8) of the down pipe by a supply of carrier gas. The solid flow is transported to a high level by an ascending pipe (9) branched off by the down pipe, and dimension of the solid flow extracted by the ascending pipe is varied by variable supply of the carrier gas. The level of the flow or solid stock in a solid container is used as a controlled variable, and a volume flow of the carrier gas is used as a correcting variable of a control loop. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for regulating a temperature and/or mixing ratio in a mixing vessel (2) a device for regulating a level and/or solid stock in a solid container.

Abstract:
There are described a method and an apparatus for controlling the level and/or the inventory in a fluidized bed in a fluidized-bed tank, wherein a stream of solids is withdrawn from the fluidized-bed tank via a downer, the stream of solids is fluidized at the bottom of the downer by supplying a conveying gas flow and is conveyed to the top through a riser branching off from the downer. The size of the stream of solids conveyed through the riser is varied by the variable supply of the conveying gas, wherein the level of the solids or the solids inventory in the solids tank is used as a control variable and the volume flow rate of the conveying gas is used as an actuating variable of a control circuit.
