Recovery of Cenospheres and Fine Fraction from Coal Fly Ash by a Novel Dry Separation Method

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Aluminosilicate microspheres are a valuable fraction of coal fly ash with diverse applications due to their low density. Currently, there is no efficient and ecologically rational method of cenosphere recovery from fly ash.

On the Influence of Contact Models on Friction Forces in Discrete Element Method Simulations

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2021
The discrete element method (DEM) is an important tool to simulate granular systems with high accuracy. Depending on the application, it is often unclear which model is more appropriate for the calculation of collision forces: the Hertzian approach is ...

Gas Fluidisation of Nano-particle Assemblies: Modified Geldart classification to account for multiple-scale fluidisation of agglomerates and clusters

open access: yesKONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2014
Recent literature of the past several years has borne out gas fluidisation phenomena of nano-particle beds and assemblies quite unlike the conventional behaviour observed in fluidisation of micron size or larger ...

A Fluidisation Mechanism for Secondary Hydroeruptions in Pyroclastic Flow Deposits

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Heating of water under hot pyroclastic flow deposits can drive hydroeruptions, forming craters and aprons of secondary deposits. According to the established conceptual model, steam pressure builds until failure of the pyroclastic overburden and a ...

Novel protocol for quantifying powder cohesivity through fluidisation tests

open access: yes, 2022
We develop a novel theoretical model and experimental protocol to quantify the Granular Bond number of a powder through fluidisation tests. Our proposed model utilises the hysteresis in pressure drop and bed voidage fluidisation and de-fluidisation ...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling of the effect of distributor plate geometry in the bubbling fluidized bed reactor

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2023
Air distribution is the primary factor that influences the performance of fluidized beds. To understand the hydrodynamics and operation of a fluidized bed, an assessment of the airflow and its distribution is essential.

Frictional properties and microstructural evolution of dry and wet calcite–dolomite gouges [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2021
Calcite and dolomite are the two most common minerals in carbonate-bearing faults and shear zones. Motivated by observations of exhumed seismogenic faults in the Italian Central Apennines, we used a rotary-shear apparatus to investigate the frictional ...

CFD-simulation of gas-solid flow in bubbling fluidized bed reactor [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2022
The hydrodynamic behaviour of gas-solid flow has been studied in a two-dimensional bubbling fluidized bed reactor filled with particles of 275 µm in size, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
