The use of the electrostatic classification method for sizing monodisperse 0.1 μm polystyrene latex (PSL) spheres has been investigated experimentally. The objective was to determine the feasibility of using electrostatic classification as a standard method of particle sizing in the development of a 0.1 μm particle diameter Standard Reference Material (SRM). The mean particle diameter was calcu...

Granulation is generally performed in a stirred vessel, by spraying binders onto row materials stirring the particles. However, the conventional granulation system has some problems. First, there are double peaks in the particle diameter distribution that degrade the quality of final products. Second, it takes too long time to determine the operating and producing conditions for a desired parti...

Frothers havea profoundeffectonbubble size and also flotation efficiency. In present study the effect of type and dosage of frothers on the flotation response of coarse particles of quartz was investigated.  Therefore, flotation response of coarse particles using frothers such as MIBC, pine oil, poly propylene glycol with concentration of 0, 25, 50 and 75...

The ability to estimate mean particle size using simple, low-power optical instruments promises to greatly expand coverage of particle size measurements in the ocean and advance understanding of myriad processes from sediment transport to biological carbon sequestration. Here we present a method for estimating the mean diameter of particles in suspension from high-resolution time series of simp...

Fluidization of initially segregated binary mixtures has been investigated for particle systems of the same material. This paper reports experiments conducted in 0.055m diameter fluidizes bed for binary mixtures composed of sands whose sizes ranged from 450 to 1450mm. An empirical relationship, Utf = 0.95 UF (dR)0.87, was derived in terms of the minimum fluidization of the smaller particle, UF ...

Particle size distribution (PSD) affects properties of particulate materials and is used for denoting their quality and performance. Among many techniques available to measure PSD, many are quite often offline methods and are time consuming. Also methods like sieving involve, handling of the material physically and electromagnetically, which is healthy, if avoided for certain materials. Thus th...
