Review of models for thermal treatment of waste in a rotary kiln

Rotary kiln is a device used on a large scale in the industry, including thermal waste treatment. Mathematical modeling of a rotary kiln consists most often of the development of several submodels occurring in the process phases, usually solid and gas, and linking them together. Most of the existing mathematical models describe the work of a rotary kiln co-incinerating waste, e.g. cement kilns, there is a lack of targeted, comprehensive models of the waste combustion process in structures only designed for this purpose, and therefore integrated with the vertical post-combustion chamber. The work presents a tabular list of models according to specific criteria that result of the method of dividing the process model into smaller elements. The conclusion from the analysis is the existence of many factors that require development in the form of a rotary kiln for the thermal treatment of waste.
