Conclusions
An investigation of the thermal performance of a rotary kiln 4.5 m in diameter and 170 m in length used for firing raw magnesite showed that the principal performance indices of the kiln varied with the type of burner (“tube” type, GRTs, and GDG-1).
The performance of the kiln is better with GDG-1 burners than with either of the other two types.
