Abstract
There is lots of heat and water vapor in alumina calciner gas. Almost all alumina refineries exhaust the gas that is about 150 degree C directly. A method was provided to recover both sensible heat and latent heat at the same time using the patented equipment. The thermal balance was calculated. Hot water can be obtained, which can be used to wash aluminum hydroxide and residue. And the exhausted gas after recovering would be below 70 degree C.
