Regulatory Control of a Pilot Rotary Kiln for Activated Carbon Production

Study on Pore and Surface Development of Activated Carbon Produced from Iranian Coal in a Rotary Kiln Reactor

Performance Analysis of Pilot Rotary Kiln for Activated Carbon Manufacture, Using a Steady State Mathematical Model

−− The physical activation of charcoal from eucalyptus wood has produced excellent results in laboratory tests. The obtained activated carbons have good adsorbent properties with surface areas over 500 m/g, low density and moderate attrition resistance. The activation process is strongly endothermic and involves gasification of the carbonaceous char by oxidation with either water vapor or carbo...

Steady State Simulation of a Rotary Kiln for Charcoal Activation

−− This work presents a mathematical modeling and steady state simulation study of the pilot scale rotary kiln behavior, which was designed to activate charcoal obtained from the raw materials of region of Cuyo-Argentina. The proposed model aims for acquiring useful information to select operating conditions and design parameters. It is a simplified mathematical model that consists of a system ...

The Concept, Design and Performance of a Novel Rotary Kiln Type Air-Staged Biomass Gasifier

Tar formation is the main bottleneck for biomass gasification technology. A novel rotary kiln type biomass gasification process was proposed. The concept design was based on air staging and process separation. This concept was demonstrated on a pilot scale rotary kiln reactor under ambient pressure and autothermic conditions. The pilot scale gasifier was divided into three different reaction re...

Identification of Cement Rotary Kiln in Noisy Condition using Takagi-Sugeno Neuro-fuzzy System

Cement rotary kiln is the main part of cement production process that have always attracted many researchers’ attention. But this complex nonlinear system has not been modeled efficiently which can make an appropriate performance specially in noisy condition. In this paper Takagi-Sugeno neuro-fuzzy system (TSNFS) is used for identification of cement rotary kiln, and gradient descent (GD) algori...
