A novel nucleation apparatus for regime separated granulation
چکیده انگلیسی

A novel nucleation apparatus is presented for the production of narrow sized nuclei from various powder and binder liquid combinations. Mono-sized binder liquid droplets are produced by a specially designed mono-disperse droplet generator. The droplet generator is positioned above a conveyor belt, transporting a powder bed through the spray zone of the droplet generator. By nucleating powder on a conveyer belt, the nucleation mechanism is completely separated from all other granulation mechanisms due to the lack of relative motion between primary particles and/or formed nuclei. Nucleation tests were performed using chalcopyrite and limestone powders with water as the binder liquid. At all operating conditions, the formed nuclei were found to originate from multiplicities of drops that merged on the powder bed surface. Investigation of the dynamics of nuclei formation showed that powder-binder liquid combinations with fast penetration dynamics result in less variation in the number of droplets from which nuclei originate. Smaller and more narrowly distributed nuclei were also achieved by increasing powder speed through the spray zone.

A novel nucleation apparatus is presented consisting of a mono-dispersed droplet generator with drops falling onto a thin powder bed on a conveyor belt. The nucleation mechanism is completely separated from all other granulation mechanisms and extremely narrow granule size distributions can be achieved. The effect of operating parameters and formulation properties on performance is discussed.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
