Kiln

A kiln is a thermally insulated chamber, a type of[oven, that produces temperatures sufficient to complete some process, such as hardening, drying, or chemical changes. Kilns have been used for millennia to turn objects made from clay into pottery, tiles and bricks. Various industries use rotary kilns for pyroprocessing to calcinate ores, limestone to lime for cement, and to transform many other materials.
