Method for processing materials in a drum apparatus and an apparatus for implementing the method

Abstract

The invention relates to material processing, in particular to a method and a device for processing agricultural waste. The inventive method involves supplying original raw material, inert filler parts and a gas agent to a sectional drum-type apparatus provided with passage openings in the partitions between sections thereof. The apparatus is put in action and the gas agent through flow is formed through the apparatus. Each section of the drum is loaded with the inert filler parts to a level which is not lower than the edges of the passage openings in the partitions at any operating position of the drum. An active area, in which the original raw material is poured or falls at a desired rate and/or time in such a way that it moves between of the filler parts and/or the surfaces thereof, is formed on the path of the gas agent flow. Moreover, the time and/or the intensity of interaction between the original raw material and the gas agent is adjusted. The invention makes it possible to intensify the interaction between substances in the similar or different aggregate states thereof and to extend the number of processing operations and the types of materials to be processed.
