Abstract
Based on the actual production data of gibbsite refinery in Vietnam, prediction model of heat transfer coefficient is established due to the mechanism of heat transfer, which is validated by actual production data. The results show that the predicted and the actual ones are in good conformity. The main factors affecting the heat transfer coefficient are analyzed, and the main measures to control the scale are put forward. It can help to arrange the cleaning period, ensure the digestion technical indexes, and stabilize production process.
