The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A method of monitoring CaCO3 production from absorption of CO2 into an aqueous solution of Ca(OH)2 is described. Its application to the measurement of Ca(OH)2 conversion across different radial zones on a spinning disc reactor is discussed and results from experiments are presented. Links between conversion and models based on diffusive mass transfer into a thin rotating film are examined and a correlation with Fourier and Reynolds numbers shown. Estimations of mass-transfer coefficients based on the experimental results are provided and comparisons made with previous work. ©2005 American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
