Abstract: | A mathematical model of the absorption of HCI gas in a spray dry tower has been proposed. The proposed model describes the mechanism of HCI removal talking into account atomized droplet size distribution and the change in the droplet state from “slurry droplet” to “dry particle”. It is found that the removal efficiency can be simulated by using the model with the constant mean diameter of droplet from the simulation results. Simulation results of the removal of HCI gas are in good agreement with the experimental data in a spray dry tower. |
