Cement is an important basic raw material for national economic construction. At present, there is no material that can replace it at home and abroad. With the rapid development of my country’s economy, cement plays an increasingly important role in the national economy. According to a survey conducted by the China Cement Association, as of the end of 2020, Chinese companies have invested in 31 cement clinker production lines in 16 overseas countries. In 2021, with the support of government departments, the China Cement Association launched the work of carbon neutralization in the cement industry. 2021 is also the first year of the “14th Five-Year Plan”. We will promote the construction of new infrastructure, new urbanization, transportation and water conservancy and other major projects, which will bring a new development pattern for the further high-quality and sustainable development of the cement industry.

Barracuda software based on the CPFD (Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics) method is a commercial software package dedicated to industrial-level particle fluidization and chemical reaction simulation. Its advantages include fast simulation modeling methods, efficient and stable multiphase flow coupling solutions devices, convenient chemical reaction modeling methods, and industrial-scale particle simulation quantities, etc. The amount of particles participating in the reaction in the cement decomposition furnace is huge and the reaction temperature is high. Using Barracuda can truly simulate the temperature distribution and chemical process of the fluid and particles in the decomposition furnace, and is also very good at simulating the cyclone separator. The simulation results can be used for Guide the process design and structure optimization of the cement preparation system.
