.In afluid bed reactor Zinc concentrate of composition
is roasted with stoichiometric amount of air. Roast product is discharged from the other end of the reactor.
During roasting 1% of total ZnS remains unoxidized, whereas 80% of total iron charged forms ZnO.
Fe2O3.
Find the bed temperature when 10 % of heat input is lost to the surrounding.
MaterialBalance: consider 1000 kg Zn concentrate
Roasting produces roast product and gases. Material balance is left for the exercise.
