Collier, Palos Verdes Estates, Calif., assignor to Collier Carbon and Chemical Corporation, Los Angeles, Calif., a corporation of California Application November 24, 1952, Serial No. 322,308
9 Claims. (Cl. 202-6) This invention relates in general to improvements in the art of calcining materials containing volatile cornbustible matter` It is specifically applicable to the calcining of green petroleum coke in a rotary type kiln, but is not limited thereto since it is applicable also to the calcining or heating of coal or other substances containing volatile combustible materials which are releasable during the process of heating or calcining, as in the production of coke from coal whether of bituminous, anthracitic or other form.
An object of the invention is to provide a method and apparatus for producing a calcined coke with higher yield and at lower cost than has been accomplished heretofore. It is also an object of the invention to provide an apparatus and a procedure for heating petroleum coke, or coal or the like, in an upper or feed portion of the kiln to a temperature level which is only slightly below the final calcining temperature (for example 200 to 600 F. below or around 400 F. to 500 F. below the final temperature) while making provisions for the burning of the volatile combustible materials liberated in said feed portion of the kiln at such temperatures, whereby to facilitate calcination. It is also an object of the invention to accomplish such burning of the released volatile combustible materials by providing for controlled introduction of air or other oxygen-containing gas) into such portion of the kiln under conditions to take advantage of the heat available in such volatile materials and thereby improve the over-all heating eiiciency ot the process in the apparatus in which the process is conducted.
Another object of the invention is ot provide a calcining kiln whose cross-sectional diameter increases, gradually or section by section, from the lower or discharge end of the kiln to the upper or feed end of the kiln, such crosssectional change corresponding at least roughly with the volume of gases evolved and present in the various sections. In other words, the cross-sectional areas of the various sections are approximately proportional to the volumes of gases in the various sections of the kiln. Such difference in cross-sectional areas takes into consideration the heat factor including combustion of evolved gases in various zones.
Another object of the invention is to control the velocity of gas movement through the kiln to the upper or feed end thereof and discharge therefrom so as to avoid entrainment of tine feed materials. Such control avoids loss'of these materials in the scrubber or transition section through which the gases pass from the upper or feed end of the kiln to the stack. Y
It is a still further v object of the invention to take advantage of the volatile combustible materials released in the various zones of the kiln and to supply adequately controlled volumes of air thereto for approximately cornplete combustion thereof whereby to employ the resultant heat for proper calcination of the feed material and for reduction of the content of volatile combustible materials to a practical or optimum minimum.
Z,8l3,322 Patented Nov. 19, 1957 ICC Afurther object of the invention is to increase the retention time for the material in the upper or feed section of the kiln, and to construct the upper section of the kiln to effect such greater retention, so as to release in such section of the kiln greater proportions of the volatile combustible materials and to improve calcination of the feed materials in said zone by adequate combustion thereof. Such an increased retention time may be effected by providing an appreciably greater diameter for the upper or feed end of the kiln than for succeeding sections of the kiln nearer the discharge end. Such a construction results in a greater depth of the bed of materials in the upper end of the kiln, thereby increasing the residence time therein.
' It is therefore another object of this invention to provide for increased bed depth in the upper end of the kiln, as compared with bed depth in lower portions of the kiln, and thereby increase both the volume of materials retained in the upper section and the residence time of the materials undergoing calcination in the upper end of the kiln, thereby also increasing the release of volatile combustible materials as well as improving calcination.
It is also an object of the invention to provide means for the introduction of air into the interior of a kiln, which means will not be easily burned out and by which air introduction may be easily and eiciently controlled.
I have found an efficient, and at present preferred apparatus to be a slightly inclined rotary kiln which is lined with tirebrick and is provided with an internal diameter at its upper or feed end substantially greater than the internal diameter of the lowermost or discharge end, means being provided adjacent the lower portion of the upper section to promote substantially complete combustion of all of the volatile combustible materials released in the described upper section of greater diameter. In one apparatus, for example, the internal diameter of the upper section is about six feet, the internal diameter of the lower portions being in the order of four and one-half to live feet, where the upper section in such an apparatus has a length of around thirty-tive to forty feet, the lower sections approximating sixty to sixty-tive feet, or, in other words, an over-all length of about one hundred feet. In such a preferred apparatus, plural air injection means have been arranged around the periphery of the lower end of the large-diameter upper section, whereby to introduce air under pressure (as by means of blowers) to satisfy the volatile combustible materials released in the resultant bed which is of much greater depth than calcining bed depths heretofore known. The slope of the axis of the kiln is in the order of 1/2 to 3A of one inch per foot, an optimum apparently being 5/3 inch slope per lineal foot. At an intermediate point inthe lower section, which may represent a point of further reduction in diameter within the kiln (for example a reduction of an internal diameter of ve feet to an internal diameter of four and one-half feet), additional air-injecting means may be employed to satisfy combustion of additional volatile combustible materials being released in a middle section of the kiln. Since, by this process and with this apparatus, most of the heat required for proper calcination is furnished by the volatile combustible materials being released from the feed, the introduction of only a relatively small amount of fuel is required at the discharge end of the kiln for the purpose of completing calcination.
With such a construction as herein disclosed, pressures resultingl from release or volatile combustible materials and from combustion thereof are so controlled by the vincreased capacity of the upper portion of the kiln re- -sulting from the increased diameters that high pressures, .which are typical of uniform diameter kilns and result Y,in high velocities of gases from the upper end of the kiln -to the conventional scrubber, are avoided. Thus, at the lower or discharge end of the kiln, fuel introduced, which is only sufcient to complete calcination, burns in a zone of equalized or even negative pressure, that is, all these gases of combustion continue through the kiln to the feed end to be delivered into the scrubber. Therefore, at the lower end of the kiln, around the nose ring, there is usually an automatic air intake as the result of the draft through the upper end of the kiln, which air intake serves admirably to cool the nose ring typically found at the lower end of rotary kilns of this general type and acting to position the brick lining of the kiln. Even with the burning of the volatile combustible materials, the indicated large diameter of the` upper or feed end of the kiln and correspondingly large diameter of the tail ring at such end provide adequate discharge area for the gases, thereby reducing the pressure and velocity in the kiln. By providing an optimum diameter of the tail ring at the feed end of the kiln, a large cornmercial capacity of the kiln is obtainable which may be increased up to its maximum by increasing rotation to a practical operating maximum, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art of calcining with rotary kilns.
The decreasing of the diameter of the kiln from the feed end toward the discharge end amounts to a tapering of the kiln, which eifect, however, has been found to be conveniently and commercially accomplished for optimum results by stepping internal diameters as above indicated.
In operation, about two thirds of the volatile combustible materials is driven olf and burned in the large, upper end of the kiln described, and it has been found that, especially where operating with petroleum coke, calcining temperatures in the lower portion of the kiln must be run up at least to 2200 F. and preferably to around 2500 F. (or between about 245`O F. and 2600 F.) to get a good coke whose volatile combustible content is less than 1% as is commercially required for good calcined carbon for most uses. Thus, operating at 2000 F. for a longer period of time is not elfective to eliminate the volatile combustible materials to the extent desired. By burning the released volatile combustible materials and thereby taking advantage of resultant heat, the amount of fuel required to be introduced at the lower end of the kiln is reduced as much as 50% over ordinary operation, and as a consequence of this factor and greater yield, the cost of production ofthe ealcined product is reduced more than 25%. Passage time of a given portion of the feed material through the kiln may vary from about thirty minutes to about one hour in accordance with the length of the kiln, the slope of the kiln, the rate of rotation and the rate of charge, as hereinafter explained. It is also possible, by appropriate air regulation and fuel addition at the discharge end, `to reach as much as 3000 F. or similar temperature, if it be desired, to p'foduce graphitized coke or some other high temperature e ect.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel arrangement of feed means, such as scoop means, which opens through the kiln wall into the feed section at an appreciable distance downward from the tail ring so that the cross-sectional area at the tail ring is left unobstructed, as distinguished from the conventional positioning of feed means to project through and partially obstruct the tail ring, thereby increasing the velocity of the discharging gases. By omitting means projecting through the tail ring and by using an enlarged diameter feed section, gas velocities are reduced to an optimum and loss of lines to the scrubber which would otherwise result is substantially eliminated. Also, even though the internal diameter of the kiln is not tapered or otherwise reduced from its feed end toward its discharge end, gas velocities from the feed end are reduced materially by the mentioned omission of the usual feed means projecting through the tail ring into the feed section, and good combustion is effected by the introduction of air under pressure to properly support combustion as herein described. Gas velocity from the discharge end is further decreased if the usual upstanding tail ring is omitted. Thus, important advantages of the invention are obtained by the two features of supplying air under pressure and eliminating feed means of the type which project through the tail ring and obstruct gas discharge, even though there be no decrease in the cross-sectional area at the discharge end under that of the feed end.
Various other features of the invention, and other objects thereof, will become apparent to those skilled in this art upon reference to the accompanying drawings and the following specilication wherein presently successful and preferred methods of operation and equipment are disclosed.
In the drawings:

Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross section through the upper section of the kiln of Fig. l as indicated by the section line 2 2 of Fig. l;
Figs. 3 and 4 are elevational details indicating two arrangements by means of which air jets supplying air under pressure into the kiln may be staggered so as to extend air introduction for an appreciable distance along the kiln length; l
Fig. S diagrammatically illustrates a tapered kiln which might be used in some circumstances instead of the stepped structure of the presently preferred form of apparatus;

Fig. 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional detail, with portions shown in elevation, taken from the line 7-7 of Fig. 6 to show the arrangement of the scoop feeders which supply the first section or feed section of the kiln and are spaced a convenient distance down the kiln from the upper end or tail ring;
Fig. 8 is a similar cross section on a corresponding scale taken on the line 8-8 of Fig. 6 and showing the blower and air manifold ring arrangement by which air under pressure is introduced through diierent jets to provide for complete combustion of volatile materials being released in the upper or feed section of the kiln (or other corresponding kiln section); and
Fig. 9 is a sectional detail taken on the line 9--9 of Fig. 8 showing how the air jets are preferabiy led linto the kiln on the down side of the air manifold ring.
In the drawings the elongated kiln is generally indicated at 10, and primarily it comprises a plurality of sections of different internal diameters each of which has an outer shell 12 and appropriate rebrick lining 14 or other appropriate refractory lining as indicated especially in Figs. 2, 6 and 7. The kiln sections include an upper feed section 15 of greatest diameter and of appreciable length, a relatively very short tapered connecting section 16, an intermediate section 17 which, as best seen in Fig. 6, provides an internal diameter smaller than the internal diameter of the section 15, and a lower end section 18 whose internaldiameter is still smaller than the internal diameter of the intermediate section 17. This last reduction in internal diameter is conveniently effected by increasing the thickness of the refractory lining 14 for the section 18, Thus, with these two sections 17 and 18 in the form shown,' the same diameter of outer shell 12 is used. At the upper end of the kiln the lirebrick or other refractory lining 14 is built up to form a tail ring 20 which may serve to confine the upper end of the material bed and to aid in determining the thickness of the bed C' of material undergoing calcination. The elevation of this tail ring 20 from the inner surface of the adjacent refractory lining 14, and adjacent the upper end of the bed` of material, may be in theorder offsix'inches t'ovnine` inches where the internal diameter of thetuppe'r'secti'onA ofV the kiln is in the order of six feet. This over-all reduction of the internal diameter at the tailring, amounting to twelve inches to eighteen inches, isentirely acceptable in this construction where the area of theA resultant discharge opening for the gases is not" in; any way o'bstructed by means for feeding the kiln, and` where the internal diameter of the lower kiln` sectionv 118 approximates that of the tail ring or is lessi and is in. the order of four and one-half to ve feet.
beyond the inner surface of the adjacentrefract'ory lining 14', and therefore may beV nothing more tha-n the? lowermost end of such lining or a iiangel 22 on theextremity of the shell 12 as shown,-or as in conventional constructions.
The kiln 10 is borne upon several base members 25- distributed along its length through the medium: of corresponding pairs of supporting rollers 26:which.may be' of conventional construction or as indicatedini Fig. 2, these rollers receiving conventional tires 28V mounted upon thev shell 12` according to conventional` construction. The kiln 10 is rotated through the medium of a conventionalv ring gear 30 mounted upon the shell 12 as seen in Fig. l, rotation being effected through the. medium of. any. appropriate motor 32 and speed reduction means generally indi-v cated` at 33 and including. such sprockets, drive chains, and spur gears as may be necessary inv accordance with well known practices. As illustrated,.there isdisposedzat the lower end of the kiln a conventional head wall 35' providing peep holes and the like andthrough whichia: conventional burner 36 projects for thelpurpose-of firing the lowermost end of the kiln with:natural gas or equivalent fuel. The head wall 35 is also shown as carrying a discharge chute 37 feeding to any appropriate cooling conveyor 38 which discharges to any means, such as a conveyor belt 39, for moving the calcined material to storage or otherwise as required. At the upper end ofy the kiln there is located the usual so-called scrubber 40 which receives the gaseous products of combustion being discharged from the kiln, and in which any fines which are" entrained by the discharging gases and which are notburned are permitted to settle out. In conventional kilns a considerable quantity of settled fines accumulates in the scrubber 40, but with the present structure the settling nes are almost negligible. The top of-.the scrubber in turn discharges into a conventionalstack 42from" the top of which the spent products of combustionescape as usual.
In addition to the reduction of the internaldiameter of ther lower portions of the kiln to something.` less than the internal diameter of the upper feed sectionlS of the kiln, important aspects of the present invention reside in theiuse of scoops 45 as raw materialfeedingmeans at anintermediate location on the wallof the upper section 15; and the use of means generally indicated at 46,` for supplying air under pressure to the interior of the kiln, at such locations as best adapted' tooptimumoperation, as seen in Figs. 1 and 6. The scoops 45 arel exteriorly disposed upon the kiln walls as' best indicated in Fig. 7. They are supplied bydippingV into aquantity` of. feed material M contained in a hopper 47 underlying the kiln at the location of the scoops'thereon, as seen in Figs. l, 6'and 7, this hopper 47 being in.turn-.supplied as by an endless conveyor belt 48, Fig. 7. The number of scoops is' that conveniently necessary for' supplying the desired amount of feed to the kiln 10,. of which three of the relative sizes and capacities indicated have been found satisfactory for all rotational speeds to'vwhich this type of kiln is adapted. Each scoop 45isconveniently rectangular inV cross section at its. outer` pick-.upl extremity, this construction being provided by side walls 50 which are parallel, m outer Wall. 52 substantially. parallel. to thertangent at the adjacent. point of', connectionof a At. the lower end of the kiln, the nose ring does not'eirtendvradiallyl c'urvedl throat member 54 to the shell'12,farrdv art. inner: wall 55`which flares slightly inwardtoward" the" kilnanrl with respect to the wall 52 and is anchored at. 56. to the'r shell 12 of the kiln. These walls 50, 52 and 55 are conveniently at walls as shown. Theouter end`v of the inner wall 55 provides a mounting for a pivot 57 of a llapl type closing gate 5S preferably operated by gravity through the medium of a weight to overbalance thel gate 58 and closeit when the respective scoop 45 reaches a suitably elevated point in its rotational travel, which isrsomewhat short of that indicated at the top of Fig. 7. However, the gate 58` of each scoop may be actuated byappropriate mechanical means, rather'than by gravity, if preferred.
Each curved throat 54 makes a substantially rightangular bend so that it will feed into the kilnin a substantially radial direction through a corresponding. discharge port 62 formed in the shell. 12 and in-the refractory lining 14. The throat 54 is conveniently securedto` the shell 12 by bolting, riveting or welding, and' it may communicate with an effective extension 54al (Fig. 7') which may serve as a liner for at least a portion of the refractory material 14 at the port 62'. Anyappropriate means is applied for effecting a joint64 between the outer endof the curved throat 54 and the adjacent ends of the walls 50, 52, 55 constituting the pick-up portion of the scoop. Such a joint may include riveting, bolts or welding as most eiicient for the purpose.
In operation of each of the scoops 45 its ap gate 58 will open by gravity as it approaches the position shown at the left of Fig. 7. The forward edges of the walls 50 and 52 dip into the feed material M in the hopper 47i As the scoop approaches the position shown at the bottom of Fig. 7, the throat 54 and its extension 54a become-filled with calcining material C which is tumbling in the kiln and' assumesan angle of repose of around 35 or 40 approximately as indicated in Fig. 7. The calcining material C is, of course, shortly abutted by the cold feed material M being scooped up.
In the continued travel of the lower scoop 4'5"toward the position at the top of Fig. 7, the calcining material C in the extension 54a begins to discharge byy gravity as soon as the port 62 reaches the upper edge of thel bed of material C, which bed is, of course, somewhat elevated at the respective side due to the rotation ofthe kiln. Following discharge of the hotV material C, the coldmaterial M then commences to discharge through the lower end of the main scoop section provided by the walls 50, 52 and 55 and into the curved throat 54, whence it is dumped through the port 62 into the kiln on the bed' of material undergoing agitation and calcination; The* flare between the outer wall 52l and the inner wall 55 ofthe scoop is limited so that there will be no tendency of the cold material M to clog at the lower end of the main scoop section as it passes through the curved throat 54. The direction of the outer scoop Wall 5-2 is. that best'calculated to provide for dropping of the cold material M into the kiln as quickly as possible afterl the upper edgeiof'the calcining mass C has been passed. As previously indicated, the direction of the outer Wall 52 is approximately parallel to the tangent at' the median pointof attachment to the shell 12 at the respectivel port 62;,or thevaxis of the scoop may be substantially parallel to such tangent so that the wall 52 is directed only slightly.- outward away from such tangent. In other words, the outer wall 52, or the axis` of the scoop 45, will be roughly perpendicular to the radius at the median point4 of attachment of the curved throat 54. Thisv arrangement effects good discharge of the cold material M into the kilnby way of the curved throat 54. The latter, which may be a stainless steel casting, is, by reason of parallelV opposite sides, substantially rectangular at any cross section to correspond generally with the cross section at the bottom of the outer, main scoop section, thereby. to receive freely from the outer scoop section and to discharge readily into the kiln. The position of the inner, scoop wall 55 is that best calculated with respect to the angle of repose of the feed material to provide suflicient time for the feed material to drop into the kiln before the angle of repose of the feed material in the outer portion of the feed scoop is reached, while at the same time permitting adequate lling of the scoop as it passes through the hopper 47. Further, under different sets of operating conditions (e. g., different speeds of rotation or different angles of repose of different feed materials) the inner and outer scoop walls may be placed either closer to or farther from the shell of the kiln according as such different conditions dictate. The indicated variations in scoop positioning are variously illustrated by the three scoops of Fig. 7.
By disposing the scoops 45 downward along the kiln an appropriate distance from the tail ring 20, as presently to be explained, the scoops serve to build up an appropriate bed depth of the calcining material C approximately as indicated in Fig. 6. The depth is controlled, where the scoops are of a given size and number, by the rate of rotation of the kiln and by the amount of feed into the hopper 47. According to presently preferred operations, the depth of the bed of calcining material C may thus be varied so that its surface may be anywhere between the bottom of the tail ring 20 as it is viewed at the lower right of Fig. 6 or the top thereof and so that none of the material will discharge over the tail ring 20 as the kiln rotates. However, if no tail ring 20 is used, or if the volume of feed material is required to be reduced as where excessively volatile feed material is used, the upper end of the bed may terminate well below the location of the bottom of the tail ring 20 and even as far down the kiln as the points of discharge from the feed scoops 45.
The bed depth is, of course, thickest at what amounts to the deepest point in the kiln section 15 which is the juncture with the tapered section 16. In actual practice the bed depth may vary between about ten inches and about fourteen or fifteen inches in a kiln section of an internal diameter of six feet in the upper section 15 and tapering to an internal diameter of about five feet at the discharge end of the tapered section 16, where the section 15 is in the order of thirty to thirty-five feet in length and the scoops 45 are located about ten feet downstream from the tail ring 20 with a kiln slope in the order of tive-eighths inch per foot which at present seems to be optimum slope.
Thus, in a length of ten feet from the tail ring to the scoops, with a five-eighths inch per foot slope, the increased bed depth will approximate six inches at the position of the scoops and their ports 62, the total depth at such position being increasable by the amount of elevation along the inner face of the tail ring 20, as will be obvious to the engineer operating the kiln. Another twenty feet down the kiln in the form of kiln shown employing the tapered sections, the bed will have increased in thickness correspondingly, correction, of course, having necessarily beenetfected by the slope of the bed of the calcining material itself as it works down the kiln during its tumbling operation. Thus, the maximum bed depth at the juncture between the kiln sections 1S and 16 under the conditions and with the dimensions stated may be about fifteen inches.
In any event, this relationship where the internal diameter at the discharge end of the tapered section 16 is appreciably less than the internal diameter of the body of the upper section 15 positively provides for an increased bed depth, an increased volume of material, and an increased residence time in the upper portion of the kiln for the material undergoing calcination. Thus, optimum conditions and the residence time are provided in the section 15 so that there may be an optimum volatilization in this zone of the volatile materials contained in the feed. In the light of the gures above given, calculation may be readilymade for any other installation in order.
to accomplish the same results.
Y The other particularly important feature of the invention above mentioned resides in the positive introduction of controlled amounts of air, preferably under pressure, to attain complete combustion. Preferably a plurality of such previously mentioned air-supplying means 46 is disposed down. the kiln atV points below the upper, largest section 15 and the tapered section 16. These means are operated to supply adequate secondary air for substantially complete combustion of volatile combustible materials liberated in succeeding upper sections of the kiln. By such combustion, these volatiles serve to supply a large proportion of the heat necessary to effect the required calcinationof the carbonaceous materials being fed into the kiln. According to one successful installation, one of the air-supplying units 46 is disposed at the upper end of the intermediate section 17 and just below the tapered section 16 so that adequate air is introduced into the upper section 15 to provide for complete combustion of the volatiles liberated in the deep bed maintained in the sections 15 and 16. Another one of the air-supplying means 46 is disposed in the vicinity of the juncture between the intermediate section 17 of the kiln and the lower section 18. As illustrated, the air jets lead into the extreme lower end of the intermediate section 17. Other dispositions of the air-supplying means may be made as best suited to provide for full combustion of the materials being volatilized in the kiln and to provide adequate heat to eifect full calcination of the material being fed into the upper end of the kiln. At the extreme lower end of the kiln, the burner 36 will be used to supply the necessary fuel and the necessary air to complete calcination in the lower section 18.
Each of the air-supplying devices 46 includes a blower operated by a suitable electric motor 72, and an annular air manifold 74 disposed around the respective portion of the kiln 10 and attached thereto, such manifold thus being in the form of a hollow ring which is supplied with air under pressure from the blower 70 by a feed pipe 75. From each manifold 74 there leads a plurality of air jet pipes 76 whose ends are inwardly turned toward the kiln, as illustrated in greater detail in Fig. 9, such ends being conveniently secured to the kiln wall or inner shell 12, as by welding, bolting or otherwise. Such inturned portions communicate with air inlet ports 77 as by means of air jet nipples 78 disposed within the refractory lining material 14 and secured to the inner wall of the shell 12 as illustrated in Fig. 9. Preferably the air jet pipes 76 are directed downward along the kiln from the ring manifold 74 to facilitate prevention of lodging of the calcining material C in the ports 77. However, the air jets serve well to keep the ports 77 clear. If necessary, each jet pipe 76 might be provided with other means such as an adjustable valve 79 (Figs. 6 and 9) to regulate the air flow through the pipes 76, or total air volume may be regulated at the blower itself, or otherwise, as will be apparent to the engineer, in order properly to satisfy the volatile combustibles released in the kiln.
ln order to supply the motor 72 with electric energy, an appropriate contact ring 80, Fig. l, may be mounted about the kiln 10 and insulated therefrom, this ring being connected with the motor 72 and receiving its energy through the medium of a stationary brush contact 82 carried on one of the standards 25 supporting the kiln. In cases where itv may seem necessary or desirable to distribute along the kiln the air being introduced, rather than to inject it at spaced zones such as illustrated in Figs. l and 6, the jet pipes 76 and the air manifold may be so arranged as indicated in Figs. 3 and 4 that the points of intro'uction of the jet pipes 76 into the interior of the kiln are varied as by disposing the inlet ports 77 at staggered or helically arranged positions, or by any other suitable Alongitudinal distribution. As seen in Fig. 3, the air ductsor jet pipes 76 extending from the manifold 74 are graduated in length and they may increase in diameter as shown for the purpose of avoiding frictional pressure drops. In the form of Fig. 4, the pipe manifold 74a is arranged in a helix so that the air ducts or jet pipes 76 are substantially uniform in length and diameter.
While the lower section 18 of the kiln is shown in addition to the intermediate section 17 so as to provide an end section of smaller internal diameter than that of the section 17, it may be suiicient in some instances that the sections 17 and 18 be consolidated with a uniform internal diameter. Again while the reduction in the internal diameter of the section 18 is shown as being effected solely by increasing the thickness of the refractory lining 14, this reduction might be introduced into the structure by another tapering section, similar to the section 16, between the sections 17 and 18, as will also be apparent to the engineer.
From the standpoint of gradually reducing the internal diameter of the kiln from the upper feed end to the lower discharge end, this may be effected by continuously tapering the outer shell 12, as well as the inner brick lining or other refractory lining, as indicated in Fig. 5. This arrangement likewise provides for increasing the diameter of the kiln as the volume of gases and combustibles increases.
During the rotation of the kiln 10, the scoops 45 pick up feed material M from the hopper 47 and discharge it through ports 62 into the kiln to maintain the thickness of the bed of calcining material C as previously described. Such thicker bed provides longer residence time within theV enlarged section of the kiln so that more volatile material may be liberated. Adequate combustion of the volatile material is insured by the air Which is forced into the kiln through the jet pipes 76 and jet nipples 78 which are supplied by the ring manifold 74 (or helical manifold 74a) that is connected with the blower 70 by the air pipe 75 of the air-supplying means 46 provided at the upper end of the intermediate section 17 and just below the smaller end of the tapered section 16. Thus, properly controlled amounts of air under pressure are fed into the sections 15 and 16 to burn adequately the volatile materials and to supply heat for calcination required in this section and to liberate further volatile materials from the incoming feed.
Due to the location of the feed scoops an appreciable distance down from the tail ring as previously described, and due to the substantially complete combustion of the liberated volatile materials, the upper portion of the kiln above the feed scoops 45 tends to cool olf, thereby ldecreasing the lineal velocity of the products of combustion to the kiln at this point and permitting the solid particles which might have been picked up by the gas stream to drop out. Such solid particles thus return to the moving bed, and, after proper calcination, are eventually discharged with the product. Thus, the upper portion of the kiln above the feed scoops acts as a dust collector or fines collector.
As to the feed of material M by the scoops 45 into the kiln, the structural relationship above described, including the iiap gates 58, is such that each flap gate closes at a stage to avoid either introduction of air through the scoop or loss of hot gases out through the respective scoop, according to gas pressure conditions within the kiln. Entry of appreciable air at this point might tend to increase the temperature as the result of further cornbustion so as to injure the material of which the scoops are made. As has previously been indicated, when the axis of the scoop is directed substantially vertically upward, discharge `of material therein commences, and as the scoop continues rotation for perhaps another ten to twenty degrees the materials in the scoop settle down through the curved throat 54 and are gradually discharged. About the time that each scoop has travelled through fifteen to twenty degrees from its vertical position, and before all of the treated material has been discharged,
the ap gate 58 is set to close so as topreventtheipre4 viously mentioned passage of air or gases through the scoop after complete discharge of the feed material. Thedevelopment of the required bed thickness of calcining material C has been described above, this being regulated by kiln rotation and rate of feed of cold material M into the hopper 47 as previously stated, and limited by the internal diameter of the tail ring at the feed end of the kiln. In order to maintain a thoroughly adequate opening at the feed end of the kiln for escape of products of combustion, it is very desirable that the internal diameter of the tail ring 20 should not be less than the internal diameter of the smallest section ofthe kiln nor less than the internal diameter of the nose ring at the discharge end of the kiln. Since the upper or feed end of the kiln is unobstructed, by reason of the fact that the feed scoops 45 are spaced down the kiln somewhat, such minimum internal diameter of the tail ring still leaves' adequate discharge space, although it may be desirable for some operations that the internal diameter of the tail ring be somewhat greater although still providing for some increase in thickness of the calcining bed beyond that which would exist if no tail ring at all were used. It will, of course, be appreciated that the tail ring 20 may be entirely omitted, the spacing of the feed scoops 45, down the kiln being relied upon to provide a maximum bed depth desired without loss of feed materials over' the adjacent kiln end. In addition, in view of the use of the peripheral feed by the scoop 45, as described, and of the fact that the open feed end of the kiln is not obstructed by conventional feed means projecting thereinto, but is free and open thereby reducing gas velocity, many of the benefits of injection. of air under pressure to meet combustion requirements, as described, are ob-A tainable without internal tapering of the kiln from a large diameter at the feed end to a smaller diameter at the discharge end, and as above indicated without necessarily making the internal diameter of the tail ring greater than that of the nose ring. Thus, such ring diameters may be equal. Also, the internal diameter of the kiln may be uniform throughout with very excellent results, at least with some feed materials.
In a specific instance, in a tapered kiln where the overall kiln length is one hundred feet, the enlarged feed sec- .tion 15 is thirty-four feet in length with an internal diameter of six feet, the tapered section 16 is six feet in length and reduced to an internal diameter of about live feet, the over-all slope of the kiln is five-eighths inch per foot with the scoops 45 placed about ten feet down the kiln from the feed end, and the internal diameter of the tail ring 26 is between four and one-half and tive feet and that of the nose ring is four and one-half feet, when a feed is employed varying from three hundred tons to four hundred tons per day of green petroleum coke containing about 10% to 12% of volatile combustible materials, production rates are easily attained of around 22S tons to 300 tons per day of calcined coke containing less than 1% of volatile combustible materials at kiln rotation rates around 2 R. P. M. to 2.5 R. P. M. At the discharge end of the kiln adjacent the head wall 3S negative gas pressure is attained. Through introduction of air by the means 46, fuel consumption is reduced as much as fifty percent.
As above indicated, the spacing of the scoops 45 down the kiln from the feed end may be easily calculated in units of length (feet) by dividing the bed depth desired at the scoop (inches) by the average slope per unit of length (inches per foot), and, if the tail ring 20 is used, deducting the increase of bed depth (inches) effected by the tail ring.
Itis to be appreciated that as many of the air manifolds 74 and series of air jet pipes 76, or equivalent devices for supplying fluid under pressure, may be employed along the kiln length as required for any particular purpose or feed. Where additional fuel may be required for a 11 given feed in order to ,obtain Adesired results, fuel, such ask fuel gas or oil, might be introduced in addition to air, orrin some instances instead of air. Thus, the present apparatus and method may be adaptedfor the treatment of different types of materials. For instance, low temperature carbonization of coal might be thus etfected; similarly, oil shales may be treated in such an apparatus. Under the latter circumstances recoverable volatiles would be removed from the stack gases as further products of the operation.

PCH has been sued several times by at least 31 states and I encourage people to contact your state's attorney general. Oregon just settled in 2010, a $3.5 million lawsuit with PCH for misleading people about the magazines etc. They are also misleading people about the winning super-prizes.
Posted on September 9, 2010 at 9:37 AM Updated Thursday, Sep 9 at 3:22 PM
SALEM -- Attorney General John Kroger announced a $3.5 million multi-state settlement with Publishers Clearing House Thursday, over allegations that the sweepstakes giant misled consumers about the benefits of purchasing magazines.Report

They keep saying you don't have to purchase to win, then they send you 'activation' emails and when you try to leave the page it says if you leave without ordering something you forfeit your prize.
What a scam

Some people could really use the money like I have three kids 4 7 15 we've lived in and out of hotels . I hope to win but I know. Its been 5years and they just keep lying . I stopped drinking 12 -24 2010 . Look there's no need for me to go into all that just stop lying to people I really want my kids to have a place to call home .davidsangel04@Yahoo. Com0 0 Reply

.. the law suit is true and was won by about 60 Oregonians... the suit brought against PCH stated that people were misled: "This settlement will insure that Publishers Clearing House plays by the rules and does not exploit Oregonians," Attorney General John Kroger said.
The settlement, filed in Marion County Circuit Court, will require Publishers Clearing House to increase its efforts to inform consumers that making a purchase does not increase their chances of winning. The company, which admitted no wrongdoing, also must hire an ombudsman to review mailings to insure compliance with the settlement.
Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin were all involved in the settlement, along with Oregon."

i don't see how they would have won a lawsuit against them. PCH has always said purchasing their products does not give them better odds at winning any of the sweepstakes. i know on a lot of the emails i recieve from them, you have to read carefully. it looks like you may have won but, when you read it it always says "for a chance to win $5000 a week for life" or whatever the prize is. where did you find this article about a lawsuit?
just curious
to Tiffany Jun 14, 2013 Central Falls, Rhode Island
This is a well known fact! nance recites about the "misleading" lawsuit. But there were several others as well. One, in particular was about PCH knowing the winner way beforehand, handpicking a winner long before announcements of who is the winner. If you really want to know specifics, you can send a letter of demand to PCH citing FOIA of 1974 5 USC 552 & Privacy Act of 1974 5 USC 552(a) and they will be bound by law to disclose all information relating to when, why and how many times they have been sued. As for the states involved as quoted by nance, I cannot imagine why Rhode Island has never ever had a single winner of any of PCH's contests ( I forced them via legal channels to disclose RI winners and they cannot as they never had any RI winners, ever) except that people in RI were mislead to think that they won something. Google the phrase, "Successful Lawsuits Against Publisher's Clearing House of Port Washington, NY" and you will get a lot of verifiable info about this matter of them being sued.1 0 Reply

Garden District Neighborhood Association:
PROJECT CLEAN & GREEN is a City-wide program designed to get everyone involved in cleaning up their properties and neighborhoods. Residents can place unwanted furniture, mattresses, household items, yard and garden waste, twigs and leaves, up to 2 cubic yards of tree trimmings, and up to 5 tires at the garbage collection point (curb or alley) on their scheduled garbage collection day.
This is your opportunity to get rid of excess household debris at no cost. After your Project Clean & Green week of May 9th - 13th, there will be a $50-$150 charge for all bulky pickup requests larger than 1 cubic yard (about the size of an easy chair). Crews will not collect appliances, TVs, electronics, construction debris, paint, and grass clippings. These items can be taken to a City Self Help site for proper disposal. Household hazardous waste can be taken to 3879 W Lincoln Avenue on Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays from 7AM – 3PM.
If your neighborhood wishes to schedule a group cleanup, please visit Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful online or call (414) 272-5462 for clean-up bags, gloves, or to borrow a limited number of clean-up tools (rakes, shovels, brooms).
The Department of Public Works will begin taking reservations for neighborhood cleanup boxes on Tuesday — March 1, 2016. The 2016 program will place up to 13 boxes each Saturday from April 16 through July 23rd. To deter illegal dumping and to maximize the use of the boxes by cleanup organizers, boxes will be placed between 2AM and 10AM on Saturday morning and picked up after 4PM the same day.
The following criteria will be used to screen callers requesting clean up boxes:
The following items are not to be placed in clean up boxes:
Neighborhood groups are encouraged to use these containers to clean up and beautify their communities. Residents who witness private contractors illegally dumping items into cleanup boxes should contact the Police Department at their non-emergency number (414-933-4444). Cleanup boxes can be reserved by calling 286-3345.

Registration for the Garden District Community Garden is now open. The Garden District Neighborhood Association is now accepting deposits and beginning to map out plots for this year.
To have a plot, there is a rental fee of $25 that will go toward expenses associated with the garden such as materials, seeds, plant purchases and improvements. There is also a $25 clean-up deposit required that will be returned to the plot owner in the fall when the plants have been removed from the plot and the area is cleared out.
Learn more and download the application
For the convenience of the city's night parking permit customers, there will be no requirement to display a physical permit starting in 2014. When residents buy a night parking permit after December 20, 2013, they will complete the same application, accurately listing the applicable license plate number. Residents will receive a confirmation number to prove purchase of the permit, but will not receive a physical permit to place on the vehicle's window.
The license plate number will be used by parking enforcement to determine whether the owner has purchased a valid permit. All customer service problems arising from misplaced or stolen permits will be eliminated. Failure to purchase a permit will still be subject to a $20 citation.
When a resident purchases a permit online, the cost savings derived from the elimination of permit production, handling and mailing costs will be passed on to customers. The convenience fee will be reduced from the current $2.25 to $1.00.
Visit www.milwaukee.gov/parking to purchase a night permit online and avoid the hassle of standing in line to pay in-person. Please call 286-CITY (2489) with any questions.

Infused with Mephisto's Soft-Air biotechnology, the Amelia's midsole effectively supports your feet and protects from discomforting shock, joint and back damage. With its versatile design, you can flaunt this flat with a pencil skirt or a pair of jeans; it'll become your go-to shoe in no time. Slip into a new style that will make you smile with the Amelia from Mephisto.
Mephisto Amelia Grey Leather/Patent Women's Shoe
Features include:
I bought these for going out to dinner in Italy, knowing I'd need something comfortable for walking but wanting something a bit nicer-looking than Keens. They seem to fit the bill perfectly. They are snug and supportive enough not to slip but still roomy enough not to bind or feel tight anywhere. They will be fine for my bunion and arthritis issues I think. They'll be good for airports too when nice-looking shoes are just not suited for walking the distances you have to walk.

De Novo Dahl Move Every Muscle, Make Every Sound (Roadrunner)
Party-pop is not easy to make and De Novo Dahl's new album proves it. Like its title suggests, Move Every Muscle, Make Every Sound tries to do too many things, attempting to combine bluegrass, alt.rock, electro, psychedelia and power-pop into a small, sugary dose of medicine that's too jagged to swallow. When the band meshes a couple of said genres instead of cramming them all in, there are some successful moments on the record. But too often, De Novo Dahl is in the midst of an identity crisis that a pop backdrop can't cope with. (SM)
Sia Some People Have Real Problems (Hear Music)
This album—with its mellow percussion, occasional bossa nova time signatures, vibraphone implementation and electronic overtones—would be excellent to play at a pool party, in the heat, where people aren't really listening to the music. The band, named after Australian singer Sia Furler, has all manner of interesting, occasionally annoying instrumental tricks up its sleeves, any force of which is diminished by its nasal and somewhat breathy vocalist. For someone who's been at this for a decade, Sia's music feels sadly immature. (JCC)
The Local Tourists Happy Birthday, Kyle (East Drive Records)
Just when you thought the Thanksgiving leftovers were finished off, The Local Tourists offer up Happy Birthday, Kyle. The duo's debut album packs sweeping violin melodies, classical guitar, dynamic chord changes and folk-style lyrics into a pop-rock cornucopia that overflows with an indulgently diverse range of melodies and styles. "The Ballad of Lickey and Diamond" is an epic classic rock tale that unfolds like a children's bedtime story. A few songs later, we get the driving, chord-mashing "Six for a Parlay, Twelve for a Teaser," a piece that would be at home on Broadway. Happy Birthday, Kyle is a feast. (AD)

This smartphone is not going to be hammered to death without a fight
There's no doubt that durability is a major consideration when you're buying a new phone—you want it to hold up to daily life.
Usually, however, you don't take a hammer to it. But one diligent YouTuber stepped up to the plate to find out how many swings his Samsung S5 could take, with unintended results.
While cell phone companies test their products to guarantee against a certain level of wear and tear, it's doubtful they added vigorous hammering to quality assurance. And, as evidenced here, that might be because the phones can apparently fight back.

I believe in Israels right to defend itself against an overwhelming threat. The mere fact that terrorists don't listen to their brothers is not an excuse for taking such an excessive step. Israel is always held up to intense scrutiny by the entire world. We as Jews were the victims and now we are seen by some, by many as the victimizers. Unfortunately people don't examine or take all the facts into account. They seldom do were Jews are concerned. We just have to flick a fly off our shoulder and we are equal to murderers in peoples minds. However, that is the reality of the world. Therefore we need to use different tactics to combat terrorism, tactics that would be perceived as a more balanced approach. Easy to say, harder to do. But it can be done.

If I order a new 2007 Corvette, and opt for R8C Museum Delivery ($490.00), do I still have to pay the delivery cahrge to the dealership I order the car from?
1 Answer
Dear kartwinner- This question can be answered by asking your dealer or by contacting Chevrolet corporate headquarters at 1-800-222-1020. In most states,the dealer cannot force you to pay this fee if it is not mentioned on the window sticker of the car being delivered to you. Good luck from Bovan.

The Power of Potassium
For some people, getting more of this mineral may be as important for controlling blood pressure as is getting less sodium. The third most abundant mineral in the body after calcium and phosphorus, potassium is an electrolyte—a substance that takes on a positive or negative charge when dissolved in the watery medium of the bloodstream. The body uses potassium and other electrolytes to conduct nerve impulses, initiate muscle contractions, and regulate heartbeat and blood pressure. Studies have shown that people who get plenty of potassium in their diets have lower blood pressure than those who get very little, even when their sodium intake remains high. Through its effects on blood pressure, potassium may also decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke. Potassium also may help against osteoporosis by preventing the body from stealing calcium from bones.

bananas, whole grain meals and melons among others. A careful selection of foods rich in
potassium will lower High Blood Pressure.
