Vapors Transport in the Anode Baking Process

Anode baking is a huge part of the Aluminum industry. The quality and characteristics of the anode blocks will be formed in the anode baking furnaces. The process itself is very expensive, time consuming and ecologically unfriendly. From the other hand, anode baking process can use its own waste as a secondary fuel source. Here, by waste we mean volatile gases from the baking process. In the factories, raw anode and baked anode are weighted before and after baking process. The difference in the weight counted as a released gas. In this work we will try to build a model and solve it that can find volume of the volatiles. Different parameters of the anode material will be included into the model, and analyzed to find insights how it can be used for future investigations. The results of this work will be compared with experimental results. Finally, recommendations for further works will be given.Applied Mathematics | Computational Science and Engineerin
