many studies have considered the effects of suspension properties on the dewatering process but fewhave focused on ore properties. thus, the present work studied the effects of ore properties (density,particle size, mineralogy) on the dewatering process based on lab and pilot experiments. a hydrocyclonewas used to prepare the required samples for the experiments. to study the effects of mineral...

dependence on chemical fertilizer continually is increasing. continual increasing of using chemicalfertilizer causes nature pollution (e.g. water contamination). this has led researchers to aggressively investigate renewable fertilizer resources, biomass, to produce organic crops and reduced wastage. wormy compost is a bulk solid and biomass feed stocks. wormy compost flow is obstacle as it oft...

Abstract: point of view. In this study, a shaking-table was used for concentrating a manganese ore sample from the Ghasem Abadarea in Kerman, Iran. Experiments were designed by using LThe influence of each variable and their interactions on the operation of the device was studied. The variables underinvestigation were: table slope, table frequency, water flowrate, feed rate, and particle size. ...

The properties of nanoparticles and the performance of products made with nano-sized precursors significantly depend on the shape of the particle size distribution (PSD) or more precisely the broadness of the PSD, the modality and of course the specific particle sizes covered by the PSD. Especially the controlled adjustment of particle size is of interest due to the size-dependent physical and ...

Spray-drying was chosen as an appropriately scalable manufacturing method to dry cellulose nanofibril (CNF) suspensions. Spray-drying of two different types of CNF suspensions—nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC)—was carried out using a laboratory-scale spray dryer. Effects of three spray-drying process parameters on particle morphology and particle size distribution...

Cereal grains are the primary energy source in swine diets. Therefore, not only must producers be concerned about the composition of the grain, but also how it is processed so the pig can fully utilize the nutrients. Because feed represents 65 to 75 percent of overall production costs in a swine operation, improving the efficiency of feed utilization will have a tremendous impact on the cost of...

Background: There are some reports on the positive effectsof dietary insoluble fiber on the performance of broilers. Objectives: This study was carried out to determine theeffect of inclusion rate and particle size of rice husk in the diet of broilerson the ileal and cecal bacteria populations and small intestine morphology. Methods: The experimental diets  consisted of a control husk-free diet...

BACKGROUND Measures to improve bird performance have been sought due to the imminent phase out of in-feed antibiotics in poultry and continued demand for higher poultry feeding efficiency. Increasing grain particle size and dietary fibre may improve gizzard function, digestive efficiency and nutrient absorption. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect increased particle size of corn and...

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of feed intake on the composition of the rumen contents of sheep and on their bacterial densities. Whole rumen contents were sampled after a period of continuous inter-rumen infusion of 15NH3 from four rumen-cannulated wethers successively fed on a hay-concentrate diet (2:1, w/w on a DM basis) at two rates of feed intake: 40 and 80 g DM/kg...
