The invention belongs to the technical field of steam rotary furnaces, and particularly relates to a novel
sodium carbonate heavy ash self-returning steam
rotary furnace which comprises a furnace body, one end of the furnace body is connected with a furnace end, and the furnace body is arranged downwards in an inclined mode from the furnace end to the
tail of the furnace body. A feeding device is arranged at the furnace head and used for conveying materials into the furnace body, the
tail of the furnace body is connected with a discharging cover, the discharging cover is used for discharging finished product materials, at least one spiral material returning
pipe is arranged on the outer wall of the furnace body, an inlet of the material returning
pipe is in
butt joint with a material returning opening in the furnace
tail of the furnace body, and an outlet of the material returning
pipe is in
butt joint with a material returning opening in the furnace tail of the furnace body. An outlet of the material returning pipe is positioned on the material mixing section of the furnace body on the furnace end side; a
moisture-carrying gas inlet is formed in the discharging cover and is used for introducing
moisture-carrying gas; a furnace steam exhaust port is formed in the furnace end cover and used for exhausting
wet steam making contact with materials, the
moisture-carrying gas is added, so that the
water vapor concentration in the furnace steam is reduced, and the furnace
steam system cannot be blocked even at the temperature of 100 DEG C or below.
