Abstract: 8593. Beskow, K. J., and RamÚn, A. April 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Roasting-furnaces. - Ore - roasting furnaces with superposed hearths and vertical rotary rabble shafts are formed internally of circular and externally of rectangular cross-section. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the top compartment 2 is heated by direct contact with combustion products which flow as shown by arrows from a fire-place 20, through a flue formed in the floor 5 and pass finally to an outlet flue 21. The passages 7 between the two top compartments are sealed by ore and may be formed with ledges 12 scraped by projections 13 on the rabble arm 10. Gases generated in the chloridizing process carried on in the lower compartments pass through dampered openings into vertical downcasts 17, 19 connected to a common exhaust channel. Air may be supplied directly from the outside or from additional vertical channels near the others. In a modification, the flue in the floor 5 may be dispensed with; combustion products then flow to and from the compartment 2 through vertical channels. In roasting highgrade sulphur pyrites, the gases from all the compartments pass into and escape from the uppermost into vertical downcasts, air is introduced directly from outside, and air heated in channels in the casing is employed in preliminarily drying the pyrites
