Influence of the synthesis parameters on the properties of the sepiolite-based magnetic adsorbents
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2017)
The magnetic nanocomposites (MNCs), used as adsorbents for Cd2+ ions, were prepared by a co-precipitation method using both the untreated natural (SEP) and the partially acid-activated (ASEP) sepiolites as supports for ...
Wall effects on the velocities of a single sphere settling in a stagnant and counter-current fluid and rising in a co-current fluid
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010)
Experimental results were obtained on the steady settling of spheres in quiescent media in a range of cylindrical tubes to ascertain the wall effects over a relatively wide range of Reynolds number values. For practical ...
Influence of the gelation and calcination temperatures on physical parameters and photocatalytic activity of mesoporous titania powders synthesized by the nonhydrolytic sol-gel process
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2012)
Titania powders were synthesized by nonhydrolitic sol-gel process starting from titanium(IV)-chloride, titanium(IV)-isopropoxide and carbon-tetrachloride. Gelation was performed in solvothermal conditions, at 140 degrees ...
Particle velocities in quasi two-dimensional water fluidized beds of spherical particles
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2013)
Particle velocities have been measured in two-dimensional water fluidized beds of mono-sized spherical glass particles d(p) = 1.94, 2.98, 4.00 and 6.00 mm in diameter. For each particle size, a separate column was constructed ...
Particle characterization of polydisperse quartz filtration sand
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
In this paper, different methods for particle characterization were applied to 16 polydisperse fractions of quartz filtration sand obtained by sieving, with sieve diameters in the interval d(m) = 0359 to 2.415. For each ...
Prediction of bed expansion of polydisperse quartz sand mixtures fluidized with water
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2016)
In this paper, the minimum fluidization velocity and bed expansion of polydisperse sand mixtures fluidized with water were investigated. The fluidization experiments were carried out using 19 different fractions of quartz ...
Analogy between momentum and heat transfer in liquid-solid fluidized beds
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2015)
Wall-to-bed heat transfer in particulate fluidized beds of spherical particles was studied. Experiments were performed using spherical glass particles of 0.80-2.98 mm in diameter with water in a 25.4 mm I.D. copper tube ...
Mass transfer and concentration boundary layer in a particulate fluidized bed
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2016)
The aim of this study was to analyze the concentration boundary layer for a comprehensive description of the mass transfer in systems with fluidized particles. Mass transfer from the wall of the column to the fluid in the ...
Solid circulation rate and particle collisions in quasi two-dimensional water fluidized beds of spherical particles
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
The equations for the overall particle circulation rate and the frequency of particle-particle collisions in the quasi two-dimenional water-fluidized bed were proposed. The equations were based on the experimental results ...
Hydrodynamic modeling of downward gas-solid flow. Part II: Co-current flow
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
The one-dimensional model of accelerating turbulent downward co-current gas-solid flow of coarse particles was formulated and experimentally verified by measuring the pressure distribution along the transport tube. The ...
