Abstract:
A method for the heat treatment of granular solids includes initially introducing solids into a first reactor configured as a flash reactor or fluidized bed reactor where they are brought into contact with hot gases at temperatures in the range 500° C. to 1500° C. Next, the solids are passed through a residence time reactor in which they are fluidized. The residence time reactor is configured in a manner such that it has various regions which are separated from one another, from which the solid can be withdrawn in a manner such that it is provided with a variety of residence times in the residence time reactor.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for the heat treatment of granular solids, wherein the solids are initially introduced into a first reactor configured as a flash reactor or fluidized bed reactor where they are brought into contact with hot gases at temperatures in the range 500\u00b0 C. to 1500\u00b0 C., and wherein the solids are then guided through a residence time reactor in which they are fluidized, wherein the residence time reactor is configured in a manner such that it is provided with various mutually separated regions from which the solid is separately removed in a manner such that it has a residence time in the residence time reactor which is of a variable duration, wherein removal from the various regions of the residence time reactor is carried out in a manner such that not all of the regions are fluidized, wherein the fluidized regions are fluidically connected in succession, whereby specific downstream regions are no longer fluidized and therefore actively removed.
