The rate-control step of the direct reaction of flue gas CO2 with industrial solid waste phosphogypsum mineralization to form calcium carbonate and ammonium sulfate is the dissolution of phosphogypsum. Expressing exactly the dissolution characteristics provides theory basis for designing mineralize reactor under mass transfer controlling. In this study
the dissolution characteristics of gypsum particles which had wide size distribution were predicted through population balance model. The results were compared with classical average size model showed the influence of size distribution on dissolution rate. The variation of total volumetric mass transfer coefficient was calculated and in agreement with the experimental data to confirm the reliability of population balance model. In contrast
the average particle size model predicts that the dissolution rate value is larger than the experimental value
thereby explaining why the actual residence time of the material in the industrial reactor is greater than the calculated value of the model.
