Abstract
An improvement is disclosed applicable to the production of calcined, anhydrous kaolins in particulate form. A process and system are disclosed in which the calciner is integrated with a preceding spray drier by cycling the dust-laden calciner hot off-gases to the spray drier to achieve savings in energy. Waste heat from the calciner, and concomitantly dust-like clay particles carried in the off-gas, are thereby passed to the drier and their values recovered.
