Each embodiment and example is provided by way of explanation of the apparatus, composition and materials of the present disclosure, rather than limitation. On the contrary, the following description provides a convenient illustration of an exemplary embodiment for implementing the present disclosure. In fact, it will be clear to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made in the teachings of the present disclosure without departing from the scope or spirit of the present disclosure.

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present invention discloses a low-carbon cement clinker calcining and decomposition system, comprising a suspension preheating device, a heating and decomposition device and a material collecting device, wherein the heating and decomposition device is used to receive the preheated material for decomposition and correspondingly convey it to the material collecting device; the heating and decomposition device comprises an externally fixed combustion and heating chamber 1, a rotating cylinder group concentrically arranged in the combustion and heating chamber 1, the rotating cylinder group comprises a concentrically arranged inner cylinder 2, an outer cylinder 3 and a plurality of intermediate cylinders 4 located between the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3, the cylinder walls of adjacent cylinders are relatively fixed by a connecting frame, the inner cylinder 2 is connected to a rotating power source 5, and when the material is heated and decomposed, the plurality of cylinders of the rotating cylinder group are driven to rotate synchronously by the inner cylinder 2; a spiral blade 6 for material conveying is arranged on the inner wall of the cylinder, and along the material conveying direction, the end of the outer cylinder 3 is connected to the material collecting device.

[0025] The suspension preheating device adopts a multi-stage cyclone preheater, including cyclone cylinders C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5. The material first enters the heat exchange ascending pipe of the C2 cyclone cylinder, and then enters the C1 cyclone cylinder with the airflow. After being captured and collected in the C1 cylinder, it enters the C3 heat exchange ascending pipe through the discharge pipe, and then enters the C2 cyclone cylinder with the airflow. After being captured and collected in the C2 cylinder, it enters the C4 heat exchange ascending pipe through the discharge pipe, and then enters the C3 cyclone cylinder with the airflow. After being captured and collected in the C3 cylinder, it enters the C5 heat exchange ascending pipe through the discharge pipe, and then enters the C4 cyclone cylinder with the airflow. After being captured and collected in the C4 cyclone cylinder, it enters the inner cylinder body 2 through the discharge pipe of the C4 cyclone cylinder. The heat exchange gas used in the cyclone cylinder can use fuel. The combustion flue gas in the combustion heating chamber 1, the combustion heating chamber of the present invention uses a tunnel kiln, a plurality of combustion nozzles are arranged on the kiln wall of the tunnel kiln, the outer cylinder 3 is heated by the combustion nozzles, an asbestos sealing ring 14 is arranged on the wall surface close to the opening side of the outer cylinder 3 to separate the combustion heating chamber 1 formed by the tunnel kiln from the inner part of the outer cylinder 3, the asbestos sealing ring 14 is used to prevent the flue gas of the fuel combustion from entering the outer cylinder 3, and the flue gas generated by the combustion is introduced into the suspension preheating device for utilization, which can realize the recycling of energy, thereby reducing energy loss, and at the same time, the existence of the asbestos sealing ring 14 separates the decomposition space of the material from the fuel combustion space, which can ensure the purity of the decomposition gas of the material, and is convenient for subsequent purification and utilization. It also avoids the mixing of carbon dioxide and fuel combustion gas in the prior art, resulting in low concentration of carbon dioxide and high impurities from the decomposition of materials such as calcium carbonate, large equipment investment for carbon dioxide purification, and complex purification process, which is not convenient for recycling and energy saving and emission reduction.

[0026] To ensure the time for heating and decomposing the material of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the intermediate cylinder 4 and the outer cylinder 3 of the present invention both adopt a structure with one end open, the opening directions of the two adjacent layers of cylinders are opposite, and the conveying direction of the spiral blades 6 in the cylinder is toward the opening direction of the cylinder. After the material enters from the inner cylinder 2, the spiral blades 6 are used to convey the material to the opening side of the corresponding cylinder, and are conveyed to the outer cylinder layer by layer by the intermediate cylinder 4, thereby extending the heating and decomposition path of the material, thereby ensuring that it can be fully thermally decomposed, ensuring the heating and decomposition effect of the material while occupying a small installation space, and reducing the cost of the calcination equipment; at the same time, the present invention directly uses the structure of the cylinder itself to realize the transfer of materials, without the need to design a separate transfer device, thereby simplifying the structural design in the cylinder, facilitating the smooth movement of materials, and reducing the overall equipment cost.

[0027] The inner cylinder 2 of the present invention is directly formed by a hollow shaft, and both ends of the hollow shaft extend out of the combustion and heating chamber and rotate with the combustion and heating chamber. One end of the hollow shaft is connected to the material outlet of the suspension preheating device, and the other end is connected to the rotating power source 5. A middle partition 7 is arranged on the side of the hollow shaft close to the rotating power source 5, and the hollow shaft is divided into a material chamber 8 and a cooling chamber 9 by the middle partition 7. The material chamber 8 is used to receive the preheated material for decomposition. The position of the cooling chamber 9 corresponds to the material outlet of the outer cylinder 3, and the material is cooled by injecting cooling water into the cooling chamber 9; the rotating power source 5 adopts a permanent magnet motor, and a coupling is used to connect the output shaft of the permanent magnet motor and the end of the intermediate shaft.

[0028] The hollow shaft of the present invention has an open groove for the entry and exit of cooling water on the wall surface corresponding to the cooling chamber 9. The cooling water enters from the upper open groove and flows out from the lower open groove. The cooling water can be collected by setting a water collecting tank 15 below. Since the cooling water does not directly contact the material, it can be repeatedly recycled.

[0029] In order to improve the cooling effect, a water receiving cone 10 is arranged in the cooling chamber 9 of the present invention, and the end of the water receiving cone 10 is directed to the side where the middle partition 7 is located, so that the cooling water entering the cooling chamber 9 is guided to the side where the middle partition 7 is located, so that after the cooling water enters from the open groove, it will not flow out directly from the open groove on the other side, but will flow to the side where the middle partition 7 is located under the drive of the water receiving cone 10, so that the cooling water can be evenly distributed in the cooling chamber 9, thereby ensuring the cooling effect of the decomposed material.

[0030] The material collecting device of the present invention comprises a double-shell spiral auger conveyor 11, a finished product bin 12 and a bag dust collector 13 corresponding to the material outlet on the opening side of the outer cylinder 3. The double-shell spiral auger conveyor 11 receives the powdered material and conveys it to the finished product bin 12 after cooling. The decomposed material is further cooled by introducing cooling water into the gap between the double shells, and finally directly conveyed to the finished product bin 12 for storage. The heat absorbed by the cooling water heat exchange can be connected to the water system to utilize the waste heat; the bag dust collector 13 receives the gaseous material produced by the decomposition, filters and removes the dust, and then conveys the gas to the corresponding purification system. The filtered dust is still material, so it can also be conveyed to the finished product bin 12 after accumulation reaches a certain level.

[0031] The present invention discloses a method for using the above-mentioned low-carbon cement clinker calcining and decomposition system, wherein the material is first preheated by a suspension preheating device, and then enters from the inner cylinder, and in the combustion and heating chamber, the rotating cylinder group is heated by fuel combustion; when the inner cylinder rotates, the material gradually moves along the guiding action of the spiral blades to the connecting area between the inner cylinder and the middle cylinder, enters the middle cylinder, and is transported to the outer cylinder layer by layer through the spiral blades in the cylinder. During this process, the material exchanges heat with the cylinder to be decomposed, and finally enters the material collecting device from the opening side of the outer cylinder. When the decomposed material enters the material collecting device from the outer cylinder, the present invention cools the discharged material by injecting cooling water into the cooling chamber at the end of the inner cylinder for heat exchange.

[0032] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
