Characteristics of reaction and product microstructure during light calcination of magnesite in transport bed
A gas-heating laboratory transport bed was adopted to simulate the industrial transportbed reactor for flash calcination of magnesite
and a method based on TG analysis of a reacted sample was further developed to calculate the decomposition rate or conversion of its containing MgCO
3
. The study investigated how the conversion and product reactivity as well as microstructure vary with reaction conditions including temperature
particle size and times of re-calcination for powder magnesite. Magnesite powder (
<
150 µm) calcination is a quick reaction that reaches 98% decomposition of its containing MgCO
3
in 1—2 s
corroborating the feasibility of magnesite flash-calcination in transport bed reactors. The coloration time given by the citric acid chromogenic method was 17—55 s and 294 s for the obtained products from transport and fixed beds
respectively. This proves the obviously higher activity and thus improved microstructure of the product from transport bed. During the calcination process
the MgO grain size of the product gradually increases
and the surface structure changes from loose and porous to dense and smooth. This structural change can be completed within a few seconds.
