Popis: The ash produced during oil shale combustion is classified as waste, however, one could also view it as a low-cost source of lime for the abatement of SO 2 and CO 2 emissions as well as for the commercial production of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC)-type filler material. This study focuses on the dissolution mechanisms of the main water-soluble calcium species in oil shale ash–water systems. Reaction models that describe the dissolution of Ca(OH) 2 and CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O in water were developed and the kinetic parameters of the proposed system composed of differential equations were estimated by optimizing the model reproduction of experimental data. The dissolution kinetics of Ca(OH) 2 and CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O were also simulated using the Aspen Plus process modeling platform.
