Surface forces in particle technology: Wet systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surface forces play a fundamental role in particle processing as they control the stability, adhesion, friction and rheology of particulate systems and information on all of these can be obtained from an analysis of the normal forces measured between particles. Therefore particle processing at all stages can be informed by knowledge of the forces between the constituent particles. For wet particles systems, the interaction forces between two particles can rarely be predicted from theory, but rather requires experimentation or direct measurement. This requires that the surfaces used have the same as surface properties as the particles. In practice this is rarely possible, as surface force measurements require surfaces with extremely low roughness and precise geometry and the majority of materials do not conform to these requirements. To address these challenges we produce surfaces of low roughness and controlled chemistry using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and are developing methods to calculate and understand the influence of surface roughness on the measured forces. Here we report the forces between hafnia surfaces produced by ALD and show that like ALD produced titania surfaces and silica surfaces, the expected van der Waals forces at high pH are not manifest, suggesting that most real surfaces have unexpectedly repulsive surface forces at high pH and small separations. This will fundamentally alter how these particulate systems behave when being processed, reducing the adhesion and the friction and enhancing the stability compared to the expected interaction from DLVO theory. © 2014 The Authors.

Lennard-Jones Energy Parameter for Pure Fluids from Scaled Particle Theory
By considering the fact that the surface tension of a real fluid arises from a combination of both repulsive and attractive forces between molecules, a new expression for the interfacial tension has been derived from scaled particle theory (SPT) based on the work of cavity formation and the interaction energy between molecules. At the critical temperature, the interfacial tension between c...

Numerical Investigation of Vertical and Horizontal Baffle Effects on Liquid Sloshing in a Rectangular Tank Using an Improved Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method
Liquid sloshing is a common phenomenon in the transporting of liquid tanks. Liquid waves lead to fluctuating forces on the tank wall. If these fluctuations are not predicted or controlled, they can lead to large forces and momentum. Baffles can control liquid sloshing fluctuations. One numerical method, widely used to model the liquid sloshing phenomena is Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)....
