Computersimulation of the Self-Heating and Auto-Ignition of Activated Carbon Adsorbers

  • Chapter
Scientific Computing in Chemical Engineering

Summary

Activated carbon adsorbers are of great importance in industrial practice. Under special conditions self-heating of the activated carbon may take place which may lead to a glowing fire with all its consequences. This work shows that it is necessary to take not only parameters concerning the material into account in order to evaluate tendency of self-heating; furthermore parameters describing the whole system have to be applied. A very efficient tool in this connection is the computer code REBOS. The principles of REBOS are explained and three calculation examples are discussed briefly.
