“…The studies of Mamedov et al [11] were in this direction, but the parameters there in defined such as film thickness and volumetric viscosity coefficient are difficult to obtain. Heim and Antkowiak [12] proposed a model for a batch granulation process and they considered growth, death and selection functions. However, the selection function was not independent of both growth and death functions.…”

A two-parameter phenomenological model for fertilizer granulation taking into account the growth and death function was developed. It was assumed that the growth and death functions were governed by layering and breakage mechanisms, respectively. Experiments were conducted in a rotary drum granulator on an N-K system and the data were used for obtaining the model parameters with reference to the operating conditions and to validate the model. It is concluded that the proposed model adequately describes the complexities of the fertilizer granulation process.

A phenomenological model with 12 parameters for rotary drum granulation with the help of material balance equations taking into account the growth and death functions was developed. Experiments were conducted and the data were used to obtain model parameters with reference to the operating conditions and for validation of the model. It was concluded that the proposed model is adequate for the representation of dynamics and hence this model can be recommended for dynamic simulation leading to improved control of granulation circuits.
