The invention discloses a multi-purpose gathering combustion type rotary furnace. The multi-purpose gathering combustion type rotary furnace comprises a furnace base. An outer furnace barrel and an inner furnace barrel are installed on the furnace base in a rotating mode and are synchronous. The two ends of the outer furnace barrel are connected with a feeding and discharging end base and a gathering combustion end base in a dynamic sealing mode correspondingly. One end of the inner furnace barrel is connected with a sealed feeding device. A combustion isolation body which stretches into the inner furnace barrel is arranged on the gathering combustion end base, a gathering combustion channel is formed in the portion, corresponding to a material gathering region, of the combustion isolationbody, and a slag falling opening is formed in the gathering combustion end base. A combustion supporting air supply pipe is arranged in the gathering combustion channel, and an annular flame retardant layer is arranged in the inner furnace barrel. A gas resistance device is arranged between the gathering combustion end base and the portion, located outside the material gathering region, of the inner furnace barrel, and the inner furnace barrel is connected with a gas supplement device. According to the multi-purpose gathering combustion type rotary furnace, the combustion heat can preheat rawmaterials, organic matter components can be precipitated and subjected to thermal decomposition to be gasified, the air flow enables the gaseous combustible materials to arrive at the gathering combustion channel and to be gathered, the centralized and powerful combustion is easily formed, and therefore the residual combustible materials inside the raw materials can be prompted to be sufficientlyburnt, and the number of hazardous substances in the tail gas can also be obviously reduced.
