Abstract
- The kinetics of the hydration of magnesia to produce magnesium hydroxide is described by a kinetic model with no diffusive contribution, including an additional resistance to the reactive flux due to the transient variation of the porosity of the material during reaction. The proposed model has been applied to data from the literature and obtained by hydration of MgO samples with distinct physical characteristics. The model describes well the mechanism of hydration of powder and single crystal MgO in liquid and vapour water with temperatures varying from 35°C to 200°C. La cinetique d'hydratation de la magnesie pour produire de l'hydroxyde de magnesium est decrite par un modele cinetique sans contribution diffusive, incluant une resistance additionnelle au flux reactif en raison de la variation transitoire de la porosite du materiau lors de la reaction. Le modele propose a ete applique a des donnees venant de la literature scientifique et a ete obtenu par hydratation d'echantillons de MgO ayant des caracteristiques physiques distinctes. Ce modele decrit bien le mecanisme d'hydratation du MgO en poudre et monocristal dans du liquide et de la vapeur d'eau pour des temperatures variant entre 35°C et 200°C.
