A 1-D non-isothermal dynamic model for the thermal decomposition of a gibbsite particle

A 1-D mathematical model describing the thermal decomposition, or calcination, of a single gibbsite particle to alumina has been developed and validated against literature data. A dynamic, spatially distributed, mass and energy balance model enables the prediction of the evolution of chemical compos...
