Particle formation processes are of interest for many industrial applications. This work focuses on investigating Fe 2 O 3 particle formation. The particles form during thermal decomposition of an iron chloride solution in so‐called spray roasting reactors. To analyze the reaction process, a laboratory reactor was designed which reproduces the conditions required for a systematic study of the particle formation process. Furthermore, a simplified particle conversion model was developed to simulate the realistic geometries and particle numbers on an industrial scale by CFD codes.
