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 ...
Tailoring of magnetite powder properties for enhanced phosphate removal: Effect of PEG addition in the synthesis process
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2016)
This study demonstrates that PEG-assisted hydrothermal synthesis provides a convenient and eco-friendly route to fabrication of mesoporous magnetite with enhanced capacity for phosphate removal, excellent potential for ...
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 ...
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 ...
Prediction of the choking velocity and voidage in vertical pneumatic conveying of coarse particles
(Elsevier, 2006)
A method for predicting the choking velocity and voidage in vertical pneumatic conveying of coarse particles is developed and verified using the data obtained in this study as well as the data of Capes and Nakamura [C.E. ...
Properties of quenched LiFePO4/C powder obtained via cellulose matrix-assisted method
(Powder Technology, 2013)
In this study, nanocrystalline LiFePO4/C composite powder has been synthesized via a cellulose matrix-assisted method. In an experiment conducted under extreme conditions involving rapid heating, short high-temperature ...
Prediction of single particle settling velocities through liquid fluidized beds
(Powder Technology, 2009)
Single particle settling velocities through water fluidized beds of mono-sized glass spheres (dp = 0.645, 1.20, 1.94, 2.98 and 5 mm in diameter) were studied experimentally using a column, 40 mm in diameter. The settling ...
Morphologies of electrochemically formed copper powder particles and their dependence on the quantity of evolved hydrogen
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2008)
Copper powder particles formed by electrolysis under different quantities of evolved hydrogen were analyzed using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. It was found that the structure of the powder particles ...
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 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 ...
