The invention provides a
kiln system and a method for firing ceramsite containing calorific value raw materials and producing
waste heat as a byproduct, and belongs to the field of
ceramic product firing and kilns. The
kiln system comprises a
drying section, a preheating section, a
sintering section, a soaking section and a cooling section, and further comprises a
decarburization section arranged between the
drying section and the preheating section; the
decarburization section comprises an ignition area, a hot air
combustion /
pyrolysis area and a
waste heat recovery pipeline, a heat source is introduced into an ignition area, so that the temperature of the ceramsite containing the calorific value raw materials in the area is 400-900 DEG C, and the hot air
combustion /
pyrolysis area is used for
combustion or
pyrolysis of carbon-containing materials and organic components in the calorific value raw materials in the ceramsite; and a
waste heat recovery pipeline is used for discharging the decarburized
flue gas and recovering heat released after combustion / pyrolysis of the ceramsite
raw material containing heat value in the
flue gas. According to the method, the
raw material range of the ceramsite is expanded, ceramsite black cores and quality reduction caused by high-mixing-amount and high-calorific-value
solid waste are avoided, meanwhile,
decarburization heat is recycled and utilized, and the method is low in comprehensive
energy consumption, balanced in
temperature control and
environmentally friendly.
