Functional diagram of the inductive heating of a rotary kiln reactor in cement production: so-called susceptors are added to compensate for the poor electrical conductivity of the raw material. These components, shaped as metal balls in the picture, efficiently convert the energy transferred by induction into heat and distribute it evenly throughout the vessel.
How can the carbon footprint of the #cement industry, which is one of the largest emitters of CO₂, be improved? In the #ECem project, #HZDR researchers want to develop an inductive #heating technology that could replace fossil #energy sources when burning limestone.
