Abstract
The process of natural drying of laterite ore has been the subject of modeling with the purpose of perfecting the technology used in its implementation. However, the models currently used for the energetic analysis of the process have not been experimentally validated. In order to solve this problem, the present work is carried out in which, through the implementation of a multifactorial design of experiments, the experimental validation of the physical-mathematical models of the natural drying of laterite ore was developed. It was corroborated that the models describe the physical reality of the process with high accuracy (93.43 %), which can be improved through multidimensional modeling (2D and 3D) of the heat and mass transfer processes that characterize the object of study.
