Abstract

The velocity of nearly spherical monosized PVC powder in a coldflow rotating cone reactor (top angle π/2 and π/3 rad, width 0.5 m) was measured under variation of the particle diameter (140 780 μπι) and the cone rotational speed (up to 1800 rpm). Derived residence times for these particles vary from 0.05 to 0.3 second. A new particle temperature measurement technique is described together with temperature measurements used to calibrate the method. This temperature measurement technique will be used to investigate the heat transfer to particles in the rotating cone reactor. The first pyrolysis experiments will be described which showed that rice husks flow freely in the rotating cone flash pyrolysis reactor at 600 °C and 900 rpm. At these conditions a feed of 0.8 kg rice husks was converted to 0.2 kg ash and 0.6 kg pyrolysis vapours.
