Development of an Algorithm for Calculating the Parameters of a Drum Reactor for Low-Temperature Carbonization of Oil Shale with Ash-Based Heat-Transfer Agent

Abstract

Questions related to modeling of physicochemical processes in the interaction of sulfurous shale with an ash-based heat-transfer agent under low-temperature carbonization conditions in a drum reactor with solid (ash-based) heat-transfer agent are considered. Combustible gas, resinous substances, and semicoke are the basic products of low-temperature carbonization. Through use of these products, it is possible to expand the raw material base of enterprises in the chemical, energy, and construction industries. The results in the article are illustrated by concrete numerical calculations and are complemented with an analysis of the results obtained.
