Thermochemical Decomposition of Calcium Sulfate in Presence of Carbon and Hydrogen Mix
<p>Results of research of thermodynamic modeling of thermochemical decomposition of CaSO<sub>4</sub> by a mix of carbon and hydrogen are given in the article. Influence of temperature on degree of carbon interchange by hydrogen on a degree of formation in systems CaO, СаСО<sub>3</sub>, CaS was determined. Interchange of C by Н<sub>2</sub> reduces formation of СаСО<sub>3</sub>, CaS, and formation of СаО has an extreme character. With the help of method of research planning adequate equation of regression has been defined and optimum technological parameters (Т = 1660 K and 40 % degree of carbon interchange by Н<sub>2</sub>), providing full decomposition of CaSO<sub>4</sub> to СаО were determined. The composition of a gas phase of CaSO<sub>4</sub> restoration, containing 16 components was established. By reduction of pressure to 0,001 МPа it is possible to lower temperature of process to 1400 K. The chemical equation of CaSO<sub>4</sub> interaction with carbon and hydrogen was found.<em></em></p>
