Conclusions
1. SimuSage enabled the creation of a
thermodynamic model for the Waelz Kiln,
providing:
• Temperature profile (5 zones)
• Percentage of zinc recovery
• Chemical composition inside de kiln
• Chemical composition of the products

Conclusions
2. Despite the temperature deviations, the model was able to generate results close to the reference• Not possible to use the same air volume as reference
• High sensitivity for the adiabatic mode
• Further work should consider yet other factors, such as incomplete reactions
3. Computational thermodynamics has proven its
great utility on the modelling of a counter-current
reactor such as the Waelz Kiln
