Abstract
This study investigated flash calcination of magnesite powder in a one-throughput transport bed to clarify how the conversion and product activity as well as microstructure vary with reaction conditions including temperature, particle size, and numbers of re-calcination. Results showed that calcination of magnesite powder at 850–1000 °C is a quick reaction, allowing 99% of its containing MgCO to be decomposed in 1–2 s. Activity of product from the transport bed flash calcination (TBFC) is obviously higher than that from fixed bed calcination. Product activity depends on both decomposition rate and microstructure. During calcination, the surface structure of product changes from loose and porous to dense and smooth, even in a few seconds. A recently commissioned commercial TBFC plant indeed produced the light-burned magnesia according to the anticipation of this study, and it only requires a fuel consumption about 40 % lower than that of conventional reverberatory furnace.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry is published monthly in English by the Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. JIEC brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal and is to disseminate information on all aspects of research and development in industrial and engineering chemistry. Contributions in the form of research articles, short communications, notes and reviews are considered for publication. The editors welcome original contributions that have not been and are not to be published elsewhere. Instruction to authors and a manuscript submissions form are printed at the end of each issue. Bulk reprints of individual articles can be ordered. This publication is partially supported by Korea Research Foundation and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies.
