Organic combustion is the thermal treatment of organic wastes with the intent of reducing mass and volume. This process is frequently seen in waste treatment plants in order to reduce the volume of organic wastes for deposit into landfill. Organic combustion leaves behind an ash …
Rotary dryers have a long history in many industries, but perhaps none more than in the fertilizer industry, where they are an essential component in processing minerals for fertilizers at mine sites, and for producing many of the fertilizer products on the market today. Rotary …
The rotary kiln is a diverse thermal processing device capable of carrying out a variety of process objectives, from burning off volatile components to activating carbon, and more. As a substantial investment, those looking to purchase a rotary kiln must make every effort to avoid …
The lithium-ion battery market has seen explosive growth in recent years, largely in response to the growing electric vehicle market, coupled with the increasing use of consumer electronics and a desire to advance energy storage technology for renewable energy applications. A Grand View Research report …
The term bulk solids processing encompasses an array of different types of materials, processing techniques, and objectives; soil amendments and fertilizers, minerals and ores, chemical compounds and more, all fall under the umbrella of bulk solids. And while the goals and equipment differ across operations, …
Industrial clay minerals exhibit incredibly diverse characteristics, lending their use in everything from consumer products such as cat litter and cosmetics, to industrial additives, catalysts, and adsorbents, to name a few. While there are many types of clay, each with wide variation in characteristics, the …
This week’s photo reveals the mechanical construction of a rotary dryer in 3D. The image was created by one of FEECO’s CAD specialists. FEECO’s team is equipped with the most advanced CAD programs, and our drafters and designers regularly use the software to create 3D …
Rotary dryers are used prolifically throughout bulk solids processing applications – from fertilizers and soil amendments, to minerals, specialty chemicals and more. In fact, new applications in which rotary dryers are being implemented are constantly on the rise. Whatever the application, rotary dryers are often …
Kaolin clay, also known as China clay, is an essential industrial mineral primarily made up of the mineral kaolinite – a hydrous aluminum silicate. Kaolin can be found in applications all around us, from consumer products, to advanced industrial processing. Most notably, kaolin is lauded …
This week’s photo highlights a ball and tube knocking system. Knocking systems are often implemented to combat build-up inside of a rotary dryer. The systems are usually externally fitted on the inlet end of the dryer, where the incoming material is most wet and sticky. …
