Dynamic modeling and simulation of a flash clay calciner
Abstract: We present a novel dynamic model of a flash clay calciner. The model consists of thermophysical properties, reaction kinetics and stoichiometry, transport, mass and energy balances, and algebraic constraints. This gives rise to a system of partial differential-algebraic equations (PDAE). Spatial discretization is performed to convert the PDAEs into a system of differential-algebraic equations (DAE). The model can be used, for example, to perform dynamic simulations with changing inputs, and process design and optimization. Moreover, it can be used to develop model-based control, which is relevant for flexible operation of a clay calcination plant for green cement production.
