In the modern world, there is always a huge amount of solid waste caused by human life and harmful to nature and people.
Solid waste may be small particles in a liquid or gas mixture. Filtration processes can be used to capture these particles from
mixture in order to reuse them or simply to reduce their content in the mixture being cleaned. Mathematical modeling of filtering
processes can help reduce experimental efforts during filtration processes development. The purpose of the study was to develop
an Equation-Oriented approach to modeling filtration processes, the aim of which is to reuse trapped particles and / or reduce the
content of particles in the mixture being cleaned.
The approach is to create a model of the necessary and sufficient degree of complexity, to develop an effective algorithm for
solving model equations and create a program code. The model takes into account the main necessary features of the system:
unsteady-state behavior, geterogeneity of the system, convective mass transfer of particles in mixture along the filter depth,
penetration of particles through the filter, accumulation of particles inside the filter pores, deposition of coarse particles and
particles due to inertial collision on the outer filter surface, particles size distribution. A sufficient degree of complexity is the use
of one-dimensional models, since the transfer of particles occurs only in one direction.
The algorithm is based on the three existing methods and takes advantages of each of them: the method of lines, the running
scheme, and the second order Rosenbrock method with stepsize adjustment algorithm.
The approach has been applied to the modeling of such filtration processes as soot particulates abatement in diesel engine exhaust
and filtration of the catalysts suspension in hydrogenated oil through the woven cloth. Verification of the mathematical model and
numerical method is done by means of comparison of the numerical results with the experimental data.
Using this approach to modeling various filtering processes it is possible to predict the performance of filters and to select the
filtering material with the proper specifications for efficient reducing particle content in the mixture being cleaned. The captured
solids can be then reused if necessary.
This work was conducted within the framework of budget project No. 0303-2016-0017 for Boreskov Institute of Catalysis.
