    Abstract: A method of heating solids in a reactor to produce a heat-treated material, such as a cementitious, a supplementary cementitious, or a pozzolanic material, includes conveying the solids through the reactor from a feeding end to a discharge end so as to form a material bed extending from the feeding end to the discharge end; heating the solids during the conveying to at least 600° C. to transform the solids into the heat-treated material, wherein the heating includes applying radiative heating to the material bed from above and/or from the sides, wherein the radiative heating contributes at least 60% of the thermal energy needed for the heating, and wherein the material bed is mobilized during the conveying in order to renew the surface of the material bed that is exposed to the radiative heating.

    Abstract: In a method for analyzing samples of a gas in a rotary cement kiln by at least one gas sampling probe, a first and a second gas sampling probe are provided, wherein the first gas sampling probe is moved so as to reach a sampling position, wherein gas samples are withdrawn from the kiln and analyzed by the first gas sampling probe being in the sampling position, while the second gas sampling probe is kept in a retracted position and is purged, whereupon the second gas sampling probe is moved so as to reach a sampling position, and the first gas sampling probe is moved from the sampling position to the retracted position and is purged, while gas samples are withdrawn from the kiln and analyzed by the second gas sampling probe being in the sampling position.

    Abstract: A method of calcining a raw material to obtain a cementitious material, includes providing a flow of raw material containing a metal carbonate, such as CaCO3 to a calcination system, introducing the flow of raw material into a first thermal reactor and at least partially decarbonating the raw material in the first thermal reactor by subjecting the raw material to a first heat treatment at a first temperature of at least 650° C. in order to obtain an at least partly decarbonated material and CO2, wherein the first thermal reactor is heated by electrical energy, and obtaining the cementitious material as a result of the first heat treatment.
