In order to reduce the nitrogen oxide emission of cement plant, the denitrification of decomposing furnace is studied in this paper. Based on Fluent software platform, the 2500 t/d new dry-process cement kiln decomposing furnace of a plant is modeled and simulated by using air fractional combustion technology combined with selective noncatalytic reduction technology. The model and simulation methods are verified by the field test. The effects of the urea injection position and ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio on NO, NH3, and denitrification efficiency are studied by numerical simulation. The results show that the optimal injection position of the urea solution is 12 m, the optimal ammonia/nitrogen molar ratio is 1.8, and the optimal injection velocity of the urea solution is 40 m/s. The simulation results obtained under the optimal parameters are as follows: NO concentration is 187.60 mg/m3, NH3 escape is 32.40 mg/m3, and denitrification efficiency is 74.75%.

Three dimensional, time dependent Euler-Euler simulation approach for numerical calculation of multiphase strongly swirling turbulent gas-heavy laden particulate flow in large industrial collection cyclones, positioned vertically, in staggered downward cascade arrangement has been performed. The multiphase flow was featured high mass loading. This paper specifically addresses a CFD modeling of a “suspension preheater”, typical equipment for dry process cement kiln. Big sized cyclone separator is a key component of this device. The simulation case study was developed in the frame of the commercial general-purpose code ANSYS-Fluent R13. In cyclone separators the swirling gas motion induces a centrifugal force on the solid particulate phase which is the driving force behind the separation process. The turbulence disperses the solid particulates and enhances the probability that particles are discharged, as reject. Both phenomena are related to solid phase particle size distribution (PSD) and flow pattern into the collection cyclones. The multiphase turbulence was modeled using the RSM Mixture Turbulence Model. The simulation results were validated against industrial measurements carried out on an industrial suspension preheater, in the frame of heat and mass balance of cement kiln energy audit. The numerical simulation results were found in reasonable agreement with the collected industrial measurements. This CFD simulation represents a powerful engineering tool on behalf of the cement process engineer either for new cutting-edge design or for performance verification of an existing plant.

Abstract The paper presents computer simulation of heat transfer in alumina and cement rotary kilns. The model incorporates radiation exchange among solids, wall and gas, convective heat transfer from the gas to the wall and the solids, contact heat transfer between the covered wall and the solids, and heat loss to the surroundings as well as chemical reactions. The mass and energy balances of gas and solids have been performed in each axial segment of the kilns. The energy equation for the wall is solved numerically by the finite-difference method. The dust entrainment in the gas is also accounted for. The solution marches from the solids inlet to the solids outlet. The kiln length predicted by the present model of the alumina kiln is 77.5 m as compared to 80 m of the actual kiln of Manitius et al. (1974, Manitius, A., Kurcyusz, E., and Kawecki, W., “Mathematical Model of an Aluminium Oxide Rotary Kiln,” Ind. Eng. Chem. Process Des. Dev., 13 (2), pp. 132-142). In the second part, heat transfer in a dry process cement rotary kiln is modelled. The melting of the solids and coating formation on the inner wall of the kiln are also taken into account. A detailed parametric study lent a good physical insight into axial solids and gas temperature distributions, and axial variation of chemical composition of the products in both the kilns. The effect of kiln rotational speed on the cement kiln wall temperature distribution is also reported.

This article describes a CFD engineering application developed to investigate numerically the multiphase, non-isothermal, turbulent flow physics within the suspension preheater of a dry-process rotary cement kiln. The multi–stage cyclone preheater is a counter-current heat exchanger. We used the CFD flow solver ANSYS-Fluent R18.1. to accomplish this task. The hybrid Eulerian multiphase-dense discrete phase model is a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian technique. The primary carrier-phase is treated as a continuum by solving the Navier-Stokes equations, while the secondary discrete dispersed-phase is solved by tracking the particle parcels through the calculated flow field. The multiphase turbulence of the carrier-phase is modeled using the Reynolds stress transport model. The dispersed-phase interactions are modeled through the specific collisions models provided by the kinetic theory of granular flow and/or discrete element method. The Eulerian multiphase-DDPM method provided a quiet stable solution for a medium/high mass loading (solid to gas mass ratio 0.89:1). The four-stage cyclone suspension preheater is analyzed for its operating performance i.e. overall pressure drop and global collection efficiency of cyclone stages, calcination degree at bottom cyclone stage, flue gas temperature at 1st. cyclone stage and availability to get more insight of very complex multi-phase flow patterns within this equipment. The set of industrial measurements, collected during a heat and mass balance of a dry process rotary cement kiln, were used to verify and to validate part of the simulation results.

The use of magnesia-chrome refractories of the cement kiln can generate harmful hexavalent chromium in the environment and be hazardous to your health, so the study on the instead of magnesia-chrome refractories have become urgent issues. The raw material is made up of fused magnesite particles (particle size 0 to 3 mm), fine fused magnesite powder with the size less than 200 meshes and fine fused magnesia-zirconia’s powder with the size less than 320 meshes, polyvinyl alcohol and calcium lignosulfonate liquor being used as the combine. This paper discusses the effect of sinter temperature on sinter character of products.
