Patent ID: 8231068

Claim:
An injection device adaptable to transfer a plurality of calcium carbonate particles for regeneration into calcium oxide, the device comprising: an injector body having a sidewall extending around an open internal cavity and between an inlet end adapted to receive a heated air volume into the open internal cavity and a discharge end; an outlet flange mounted at the discharge end, the outlet flange having an inner side exposed to the open internal cavity and an outer side opposite from the inner side with at least one flow nozzle extending through the outlet flange between the inner side and the outer side that is adaptable to receive the heated air volume from the open internal cavity and discharge the heated air volume at the outer side; and at least one transfer tube extending through the sidewall of the injector body, through the open internal cavity, and through the outlet flange between the inner side and the outer side to discharge the plurality of calcium carbonate particles at the discharge end; wherein the at least one flow nozzle is angularly oriented to directly impinge the plurality of calcium carbonate particles discharged from the at least one transfer tube with the heated air volume.
