A method and system for producing nano-active powder materials. The method can be used with a reactor system comprising stages in which input particles flow under gravity progressively through stages of the reactor. A powder injector first stage in which ground input precursor powder is injected into the reactor. An externally heated preheater stage may be in the reactor, in which the precursor powder is heated to a temperature of calcination reaction. An externally heated calciner stage in the reactor, in which primary precursor volatile constituents can be rapidly removed calcination reactions as a high purity gas stream to produce the desired nano-active product. A post-processing reactor stage in which there is a change of the gas stream composition to produce the desired hot powder product by virtue of the nano-activity of the first powder material. A powder ejector stage in which the hot powder product is ejected from the reactor.

Disclosed are a method for separately preparing light magnesium oxide and calcium oxide by using dolomite and an application thereof in preparation of a calcium-magnesium composite expanding agent. In the method for preparing light magnesium oxide and calcium oxide, based on the difference in decomposition temperature between magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate during the calcination and decomposition of dolomite and the difference in the weight of the materials after decomposition, the effective separation of magnesium oxide and calcium oxide is realized by a one-step method, thus separately preparing light magnesium oxide and light calcium oxide. The calcium-magnesium composite expanding agent is prepared by using the foregoing light magnesium oxide and calcium oxide. On the one hand, the present invention solves the problem of the limited origin of the light magnesium oxide raw material of the magnesium expanding component in the calcium-magnesium composite expanding agent.

A process for producing a highly calcined and uniformly calcined product from a feedstock. The process comprising the steps of grinding the feedstock to powder, preheating the powder, and calcining the powder in a reactor plant that comprises a number of reactor segments in which a flash calciner is used in each progressive reactor segment to incrementally react the powder by raising the temperature in each segment. The last segment may be a high-temperature reactor that has a controlled residence time and temperature that may allow controlled finishing of the calcination process to achieve a desired degree of calcination and sintering of the product; and cooling of the product.
