In this work, a mathematical model was developed for the prediction of packed-bed reactor behavior for CaOþCO 2 reaction based on the random pore model. A natural limestone and a modified sorbent using acetic acid washing were used for the experiments. The performances of these sorbents were initially determined using a thermogravimeter analyzer. Then, the reaction was accomplished in a packed-bed reactor for obtaining CO 2 breakthrough curves and investigation of model predictions. This model was able to successfully predict the effect of process conditions and solid texture on the breakthrough curves of the packed-bed reactor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
