Improving Gelatin Plant Productivity By Modelling The Demineralization Process Of Animal Bones

Abstract A dynamic model is developed that simulates a large size, full scale animal bone demineralization process, which is operated as a simulated moving bed system. The model at the particle level, is based on the unreacted shrinking core model. To solve the system of couples PDE's and ODE's the simulating package gPROMS is used. The model described is succesfully applied to find the optimal process conditions and to increase the productivity of the existing significantly.
