Abstract
A unified gas-solid reaction model that considers multi gas-solid components is developed for reactions in porous pellets with multiple reactants. The transient variables and properties of the reactants and transport parameters are continually updated in the simulation. Temperature, pressure, solid conversions, and concentration profiles are well predicted. Structural changes are also considered. Heat, mass, and reaction front tracking equations for all the components are solved simultaneously through a combination of solution techniques. Illustrative validation results for the model are presented for hematite/nickel oxide reduction at 608 K. The importance of bulk temperature and pressure on the overall and individual grain conversions is explored for a range of interest. The response of system parameters to dynamic changes in boundary conditions is studied.
