Abstract
A hopper for the heat treatment of a material contained therein includes a casing with an upper portion, into which the material to be treated is introduced, and a bottom part or lower portion, from which the material is discharged; a diffuser of a process fluid located inside the hopper; a system for introducing the process fluid inside the diffuser; a mixing chamber arranged to enclose at least the lower portion of the hopper externally; a system for introducing the process fluid inside the mixing chamber; and a system that fluidically connects the interior of the mixing chamber with the interior of the diffuser.

Abstract
This is a hopper (15) for the heat treatment of material (16) contained therein, comprising: a casing with an upper portion into which the material to be treated is introduced and a bottom part or lower portion (13) from which the material is discharged, a diffuser (10) of a process fluid located inside the hopper (15), means for introducing said process fluid inside said diffuser (10), a mixing chamber (24) arranged so as to enclose at least said lower portion (13) of said hopper externally, means for introducing said process fluid inside said mixing chamber (24) and means that fluidically connect the interior of said mixing chamber (24) with the interior of said diffuser (10).
