Notes:
Temperature and concentration profiles are obtained by solution of the coupled nonlinear differential equations which describe transient operation of an adiabatic fixed bed reactor. The unreacted-shrinking core mechanism describes the multiple, irreversible, exothermic gas-solid reactions. Numerical integration is accomplished by a predictor-corrector scheme which is programmed in Fortran IV language. The influence of kinetic parameters, heat and mass diffusivities within pellets, temperature variation of properties, gas velocity, bed and particle dimensions, inlet gas temperature and composition, and initial bed temperature on reactor performance are studied for sulfur dioxide removal from flue gases by fixed beds of copper oxide. Comparison with commercial reactors is in qualitative agreement.
