Mathematical Modelling on Dramatic Temperature Change of Reduction Retorts in Pidgeon Process

Abstract:

Magnesium reduction retorts, as vital industrial equipment in Pidgeon Process, have a short service life. The dramatic temperature drop and rise in the retort is predicted to shorten service life. A mathematical model has been developed to simulate the phenomenon of heat transfer of retorts with different wall thickness and temperature of reactant compounds. The computed results are as follows: (1) the rising rate of temperature in the retort overweighs that in reactant compounds, and it takes less time to form a uniform temperature distribution; (2) the rise of retort’s wall thickness will aggravate the sharp temperature change; (3) when the temperature of reactant compounds being placed into increases, the situation will be improved.
