A refractory bricking-up of the kiln body 10 is a hollow structure formed by a refractory inner cylinder 13 and a refractory outer cylinder 24. A center of the refractory inner cylinder is a kiln chamber 25. A material passage 11 is between the refractory inner cylinder and the refractory outer cylinder. The material passage is a straight passage and is provided with a refractory support 12. The material of the refractory inner cylinder and the material the refractory outer cylinder are ceramic material.

(15) The material passage is formed of a high temperature resistant and wear resistant material. The refractory support is formed of a high temperature resistant and wear resistant material.

(16) The dividing-wall rotary kiln apparatus calcines limestone to produce lime, and the operation process thereof is as follows. The limestone enters the raw material preheating compartment 33 via the feeding system 1, so that the raw material is preheated by decomposition gas generated by calcinating limestone material. The limestone after preheating enters the material passage of the rotary kiln via the conveyor 6, the material storage ring 3 and the charging ring 40. The limestone material in the material passage 11 is dividing-wall heated by flue gas generated by combusting of the combustor 17. The lime after calcinating enters the cooler 21 via the discharging ring 42. Cooling wind blown out by the cooling fan 20 enters the cooler to cool lime. After exchanging heat with combustion-supporting wind via the heat exchanger 18, the hot wind after cooling lime is conveyed to the exhaust emission system for discharge. After dividing-wall heating the material within the material passage in the kiln chamber 25, the combusted flue gas reaches the waste heat boiler of the flue gas residual-heat power generation device 26 via a flue gas outlet, thereby generating steam, driving the steam turbine to rotate and thus driving the generator to generate electric power. The flue gas having left the waste heat boiler is discharged from the chimney after denitrification-desulfurization and dust removal. Decomposition gas due to limestone decomposing in the material passage, rich in carbon dioxide, reaches the raw material preheating compartment 33 via the decomposition gas outlet 7 and the preheating compartment gas inlet 2 to preheat the raw material. The decomposition gas after preheating the raw material reaches the decomposition gas collector to be collected.
