Mathematical Modeling for Developing Iron Bath Reactor with H₂-C Mixture Reduction

Abstract:

The basic idea of H₂-C mixture reduction reflexes using hydrogen as main reductor and carbon as main heat generator in iron bath smelt reduction reactors on purpose to cut down total energy consumption and CO₂ emission. The author applied the methods of modeling for separating regions and [1]complex integration to research the kinetics behavior of the reactor. Changes of temperature and concentration field in each region were calculated after modeling from theories for solid-liquid, solid-gas and gas-liquid reactions combining theories of shrinking core, combustion and deoxidization etc. Besides some boundary- and initial conditions were got from inlet variables, other conditions included substance and energy exchanges on boundaries between different reaction regions were determined from the translation of all boundary coordination. After dispersion treatment with Control-Volume-Method, the whole model was programmed into special software for digital simulation.
