The article reviews the operation principle of the shaft furnace for calcination of carbonate materials and the options for description of thermophysical processes occurring in these furnaces. It provides equations of heat transfer by radiation and convection, special features of thermal interaction between the gas flow and surface of solid particles, influence of thermophysical properties and content of particles on efficiency of furnace performance as well as the possible chemistry of reactions to lime dissociation parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
