experimental work was carried out to investigate the influence of impeller speed, granulation time, binder mass and their interactions on granule size distribution, mean size and binder content distribution in a conical high shear granulator. it was observed that the response of high shear granulation to changes in process parameters varies significantly from one operating condition to another....

Experimental work was carried out to investigate the influence of impeller speed, granulation time, binder mass and their interactions on granule size distribution, mean size and binder content distribution in a conical high shear granulator. It was observed that the response of high shear granulation to changes in process parameters varies significantly from one operating condition to anot...

To evaluate whether the increase in serum transcobalamin I, seen in patients with carcinoma, is caused by synthesis of R-binder to tumour cells, the distribution of vitamin B12 R-binder in 125 malignant growths of the digestive tract was studied. Positive staining for R-binder with immunoperoxidase was observed in 85 (70%) carcinomas. Positive staining for R-binder was observed in all four chol...

Binder drainage test is widely used to set an upper limit to the design binder content of porous asphalt. However, the presence of high amount of fine particles in the drained binder may affect the accuracy of the test result. This paper presents a study to characterize the composition and particle size distribution of fine particles accumulated in the drained binder. Fine aggregates and filler...

The study investigates ibuprofen with wax-like properties as a multifunctional agent (as an active component and as a melt binder). Binding efficiency was compared with granules prepared by wet granulation using polyvinylpyrollidone (PVP K-30) as a binder for micromeritic, physical and mechanical properties such as angle of repose, particle size distribution Carr's index, Hausner's ratio, crush...

This is a review of acid aluminum phosphate for the binding and coating of materials. The acid aluminum phosphate in the form of a solution obtained by dissolving aluminum hydroxide in phosphoric acid, with a P/Al molar ratio of 23, is effective for the binding of fibrous or particulate materials. Porous ceramic articles are made using this binder by wet forming, followed by heat treatment. The...

Inorganic–organic hybrid (IOH) lunar cements are processed by using a lunar soil simulant and polyethylene (PE). As the inorganic simulant grains are strongly held together by the PE binder, the IOH may be utilized as an infrastructural material on the lunar surface. With a uniform simulant grain size, the flexural strength of the IOH decreases exponentially with the binder content, quite close...

Melt pelletization experiments with sodium valproate as a hygroscopic drug were performed in a laboratory scale high shear mixer. In the current part, the effect of altering the binder liquid properties (using different binders, varying the temperature, or adding highly dispersed silicon dioxide to the molten binder) on the pellet size, size distribution and the growth rate was studied. Three m...

In order to minimize the binder content in composite lunar “cement,” this paper uses JSC-1A lunar soil simulant and unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) to produce low-binder-content composite. Important system parameters such as compression pressure, compression duration, vibration, loading rate, loading number, and initial grain size distribution are analyzed. The most critical control variable ...

Mortars with mud, gypsum and lime as binder have, since ancient times, been used for very different applications. The characterisation of these historic mortars was until 1970–1980 mostly based on traditional wet chemical analyses but the interpretation of these results is difficult and often impossible without a good knowledge of the nature of the different mortar components. More recently dev...
