Rutile Chlorination: Shrinking-Core Kinetics (2D)

2D carbochlorination reactor lab: shrinking-core-model kinetics with Arrhenius temperature dependence, Cl2/carbon stoichiometric limiting, and a live Boudouard CO:CO2 off-gas split for TiO2 + 2Cl2 + C -> TiCl4 + CO2.

This 2D companion replaces the 3D scene's decorative furnace with the real reaction engineering behind carbochlorination: a shrinking-core-model conversion curve driven by an Arrhenius rate law, a hard limiting-reagent cap set by whichever of chlorine or coke runs short first, and a Boudouard-equilibrium CO:CO2 split that flips over as the bed gets hotter — every one of the four sliders (temperature, Cl2:TiO2 ratio, coke ratio, particle radius) changes a real term in the kinetic equations, not just the animation speed.
