Investigation of the CO2 carbonation reaction: kinetic models, CFD simulations and thermogravimetric data analysis

This work of thesis deals with the kinetics of the CO2 carbonation reaction. A Random Pore Model (RPM) is chosen to simulate the kinetics of the carbonation. The results of this model are then compared with TGA data. Afterwards, the intra-particle diffusion is considered. Finally, a fuid-dynamic study on an horizontal TGA is presented using a CFD commercial code
