Abstract:

The object of research: kinetics of filtration drying process of iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate. Solved problem: to obtain the calculated dependence of the kinetics of filtration drying, which predicts the nature of the change in the moisture content of the material in time during the period of complete saturation of the thermal agent with moisture in the range of heights of the material layer 30.10-3–120.10-3 m and the speeds of the thermal agent 0.46–1.61 m/s. Main scientific results: The kinetics of filtration drying of iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate was investigated at different heights of the material layer and pressure drops over dry material, which means at different speeds of movement of the thermal agent. A certain critical moisture content, which is Wcr=0.065 kg H2O/kg dry mat and the time it reaches at different heights of the material layer and the speeds of movement of the thermal agent. Based on the solution of the system of differential equations of material balance in the layer and the kinetics of drying, the kinetic coefficients for iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate a=15.75 1/m, α=3.03.10-3 1/s were determined, which made it possible to obtain the calculated dependence of the kinetics drying, which predicts the nature of the change in the moisture content of the material over time during the period of complete saturation of the thermal agent with moisture in the range of heights of the material layer H=30.10-3–120.10-3 m and the velocities of the thermal agent υ=0.46–1.61 m/s. The area of practical application of the results: enterprises for the production of titanium (IV) oxide with the production of iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate as a by-product and enterprises specializing in the manufacture of pigments based on iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate. Innovative technological product: iron (II) sulfate tetrahydrate (FeSO4•4H2O, rosenite), obtained as a result of drying by the filtration method. Scope of application of the innovative technological product: in the production technology of iron oxide pigments.
