Modeling and Simulation of Limestone Calcination in Rotary Kilns
نویسندگان
چکیده
A one-dimensional mathematical model was developed for the simulation of limestone calcination in rotary kilns. The model is comprised of ordinary differential equations derived from mass and energy conservation principles. The system of equations is solved by a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The model predicts, in the axial direction, temperature profiles for the bed of particles, the gas phase and the kiln internal wall. It also predicts the composition profile for the bed. The results from the simulation of the calcination systems presented good agreement with experimental data measured in a pilot kiln.

Production of Synthetic Fluorspar from Waste Calcium Fluoride Slurry
Synthetic fluorspar can be produced from waste calcium fluoride slurry settled on dumpsites located near Cracow centre. Synthetic fluorspar exchanges natural raw material used in the metallurgical industry. To obtain grained synthetic fluorspar, calcium fluoride slurry should be calcinated in rotary kilns at temperatures of 900-1100K. Grain size and compression strength strongly depends on calc...
متن کاملStudy on Experimental and Modeling of Rotary Roll Dressing of Grinding Wheels
Two of the important parameters in grinding operation are surface roughness of the workpiece and the amount of consumed energy. These parameters are strongly affected by the condition of grinding wheel surface which is dependent on the dressing parameters. Predicting the roughness of the grinding wheel surface after dressing with known dressing parameters can improve the grinding process. Resea...
متن کاملA Neuro-Fuzzy Controller for Rotary Cement Kilns
In this paper, we design a neurofuzzy controller to control several variables of a rotary cement kilns. The variables are back-end temperature, pre-heater temperature, oxygen content and CO2 gas content of the kiln. The fuzzy control system, as an advanced control option for the kilns, is intended to minimize the operator interaction in the control process. The proposed fuzzy controller uses a ...
متن کاملInfrared Camera-based Detection and Analysis of Barrels in Rotary Kilns for Waste Incineration
Rotary kilns are widely used for the thermal treatment of highly toxic waste. The waste (mostly organic compounds) is packed in barrels before it is fed in the kiln. Depending on the compound the heating inside the kiln leads to deflagrations of the barrels associated with an incomplete burnout. In this paper we present a new method to detect and track waste barrels in infrared image sequences ...
