摘要
Carbonation precipitation processes have been widely used due to their numerous applications in a wide range of fields. The complexity of these processes lies within the interplay of transport phenomena, multiphase flows, chemical reactions, and solid precipitation, deeming the experimental analysis and in-depth mechanistic understanding of the process dynamics a rather challenging task. In this work, a three-dimensional CFD model is developed, focusing on the carbonation step of the carbonation precipitation process, taking into account the flow dynamics of the liquid solution in the stirred tank, the CO2 bubble flow, and the dissolution in the liquid solution, as well as its dissociation in water. The model is validated with experimental measurements, and a very good agreement is achieved. Additionally, a parametric analysis is conducted to study the effect of different process parameters, such as temperature, CO2 flow rate, and rotational speed. The analysis of the different phenomena and their interplay reveals the key mechanisms that dictate the carbonation step, resulting in an in-depth understanding of the process. The presented computational approach can potentially pave the way towards a knowledge-based process and reactor design; thus, assisting the scale-up of such processes in stirred tank reactors.
