FIGURE 15.9 Mechanical feeding of containerized hazardous wastes into a kiln.
EXAMPLE 15.2
Determine the waste retention time for a rotary kiln operating at 0.9 r/min with a kiln length of 5 m,
a diameter of 2.2 m, and a slope of 0.1 m/m.
SOLUTION
θ 0.19L/(NDS)
θ 0.19 5/(0.9 2.2 0.1)
θ 4.8 min
If the desired retention time is actually to be 7.5 min, what should the rotational velocity be adjusted to?
