A horizontal pyrolysis furnace has a kiln and two barrels. The two barrels are respectively a processing barrel rotatably disposed in the kiln and a takeover barrel detachably connected with the processing barrel. Each one of the two barrels has a gate assembly and at least one spiral guiding plate. The gate assembly of the processing barrel is mounted on an end of the processing barrel, and extends out from the kiln. The two gate assemblies of the two barrels are detachably connected such that the two barrels are able to rotate synchronously. The at least one spiral guiding plate is fixed on an inner surface of one of the two barrels, and the spiral guiding plates of both barrels have an identical helical direction.

A conveyer system for vertically and helically conveying a workpiece includes a main bracket, on which interconnected heating furnace and cooling furnace are arranged in parallel. The heating furnace includes a 1.sup.st spiral supporting plate, a conveyer belt arranged on the 1.sup.st spiral supporting plate along the spiral direction and one or multiple gas inlet/inlets to fill protective gas into the heating furnace. The cooling furnace includes a 2.sup.nd spiral supporting plate, the conveyer belt extended from the heating furnace arranged on the 2.sup.nd spiral supporting plate along the spiral direction and one or multiple gas inlet/inlets to fill protective gas into the cooling furnace. A drive mechanism for a conveyer belt is installed on the main bracket. The conveyer belt runs through the heating furnace and cooling furnace and forms one loop via the drive mechanism.

The present invention relates to a rotary kiln for burning carbonate-containing material, in particular limestone or dolomite, including a rotary tube with an inlet end for the feeding of the material to be burned and an outlet end for the discharging of the burned material, the rotary tube having an inlet zone at its inlet end and an outlet zone at its outlet end wherein a preheating zone and a combustion zone are arranged between the inlet zone and outlet zone, the rotary kiln being characterized according to the invention in that in the inlet zone of the rotary tube at least one projection is provided, the at least one projection having at least one sliding surface inclined to the longitudinal axis of the rotary tube for conveying the material to be burned from the inlet zone into the preheating zone. The present invention further relates to a method for burning carbonate-containing material, in particular limestone or dolomite.

The present invention relates to a rotary kiln for burning carbonate-containing material, in particular limestone or dolomite, including a rotary tube having an inlet end for feeding in the material to be burned and an outlet end for discharging the burned material; and a calciner unit which is arranged in the region of the outlet end, the rotary tube having an inlet zone at its inlet end and having an outlet zone at its outlet end, with a preheating zone and a burning zone being arranged between the inlet zone and the outlet zone in the transport direction of the material. The rotary kiln is characterized according to the invention in that a plurality of projections are arranged in the preheating zone of the rotary tube, the projections being arranged in groups one behind the other and substantially in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the rotary tube, with projections of adjacent groups of projections that are adjacent in the circumferential direction of the rotary tube being offset relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the rotary tube such that spiral transport paths for the material to be burned are formed in the preheating zone. The present invention further relates to a method for burning carbonate-containing material, in particular limestone or dolomite.
