Modeling of the Process of Drying Potash Fertilizers in Suspended State

Abstract

The work is devoted to mathematical modeling of the drying process of potash fertilizers in fluidized bed apparatuses. The model is based on the material and thermal balance and takes into account the kinetics of the dehydration process of potassium chloride particles. The model is investigated using the tools of the Matlab mathematical computing package. The adequacy of the proposed analytical model to real processes and phenomena has been verified.
