Abstract

This study presents numerical simulations of rotary kiln reactors for wet biomass carbonization. For this, a numerical tool has been developed resolving the carbonization process in time and space. Biomass particles are represented by Lagrangian particles that collide and form a moving bed. The gas phase is treated as an Eulerian phase. Both phases are fully coupled with the exchange of momentum, energy, and mass of chemical species. The tool is implemented in the open-source OpenFOAM® framework and additional submodels for devolatilization, drying and radiation have been developed for the conditions relevant during the carbonization process. In this way, models for the complex physical processes are combined in a single simulation tool.
