Abstract
Contaminated solid wastes exist in many industrial sites, gas plants, and oil refineries. One method of decontaminating the soil is to subject it to high temperatures in a rotary calciner in an anaerobic environment. Preliminary results from a computational model are presented in this paper for the flow and heat transfer from granular solid particles under treatment in a rotary kiln calciner. A fluidization model using kinetic theory of granular flow has been employed to solve the particle flow and heat transfer problem. While a two-dimensional model is used to predict the rotation induced flow of the solid particles, a pseudo three-dimensional model for heat transfer is developed where the axial bulk temperature gradient is obtained from a one-dimensional energy balance model. The model predictions indicate interesting features of the flow and temperature fields in the bed material. Future tasks include the development of a devolatilization model to study the decontamination of waste soil in the rotary calciner.
