Energy Efficient Electric Furnace with Moving Hearth Platform for Firing Vermiculite

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

A new concept of energy production units is considered, i.e., electric furnaces with a moving hearth platform intended for firing vermiculite concentrates and thermal activation of other minerals. Proof is provided for assumptions of a new concept providing high energy efficiency. A prediction is provided for a reduction in specific energy capacity for firing vermiculite to 40 mJ/m3.
