What experiments are generally suitable for experimental rotary furnaces?

The experimental rotary furnace, as a commonly used heat treatment equipment in laboratories, has a wide range of application fields. It is mainly suitable for experiments that require high-temperature treatment, sintering, or heat treatment, and plays an important role in research in multiple disciplines such as materials science, chemistry, metallurgy, and environmental protection. The following are the types of experiments generally applicable to experimental rotary furnaces:
1. Materials Science Research
Inorganic material sintering: Experimental rotary furnaces are commonly used to sinter various inorganic materials, such as ceramics, powder metallurgy materials, etc., to study their phase changes, microstructure evolution, and performance optimization.
New material development: In the field of new material research, experimental rotary furnaces can be used to prepare and explore new functional materials, composite materials, etc. By controlling sintering process conditions, specific properties of materials can be achieved.
2. Chemical industry field
Chemical product preparation: Although large-scale rotary furnaces dominate in chemical production, experimental rotary furnaces can also be used for small-scale preparation of chemical products such as titanium chloride and aluminum chloride, as well as experimental research on processes such as drying, dehydration, and calcination.
Reaction kinetics research: By adjusting the atmosphere and temperature inside the furnace, the experimental rotary furnace can be used to study the kinetic process of chemical reactions, providing theoretical support for industrial production.
3. Metallurgical field
Research on Metals and Alloys: Experimental rotary furnaces can be used for smelting, refining, and alloying of metals and alloys. By simulating industrial conditions, the influence of different process parameters on metal properties can be explored.
Phase change research: In metallurgical phase change research, experimental rotary furnaces can be used to observe and analyze the phase change behavior of metals during heating and cooling processes, providing a basis for material design.
4. Building materials field
Research on cement clinker: In the field of building materials, experimental rotary furnaces can be used to simulate the burning process of cement clinker and study the effects of different raw material ratios, calcination temperatures, and times on the properties of clinker.
Research on other building materials products: In addition, the experimental rotary furnace can also be used to study the preparation process and performance optimization of building materials products such as lime and gypsum.
5. Environmental protection field
Waste treatment research: In the field of environmental protection, experimental rotary furnaces can be used to simulate the high-temperature incineration process of hazardous waste, medical waste, etc., and study the possibility of harmless treatment and resource utilization.
6. Specific material handling
Lithium battery materials: The experimental rotary furnace is particularly suitable for the calcination and heat treatment of positive and negative electrode materials for lithium batteries (such as lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese oxide, lithium cobalt oxide, ternary, graphite negative electrode, etc.).
Rare earth materials, such as rare earth polishing powder and cerium oxide, can also be calcined and prepared in experimental rotary furnaces.
Catalysts and magnetic materials: The drying, calcination, high-temperature reaction, and heat treatment processes of these materials can also be completed in an experimental rotary furnace.
7. Other applications
Semi industrial production: Experimental rotary furnaces can also be used for semi industrial production, providing data support and process optimization for industrial production.
In summary, experimental rotary furnaces have broad application value in research and production in multiple fields. By controlling parameters such as temperature, atmosphere, and rotation speed inside the furnace, experimenters can simulate different process conditions, study the properties and behavior of materials, and provide strong support for new material development, process optimization, and industrial production.
