Abstract

Experimental work with Geldart groups A and C powders was carried out in a 6.4-cm i.d. column fluidized batchwise at superficial velocities between 0.24 and 0.6 m s −1. A new model was proposed to account for elutriation and attrition based on the assumption that the generation of fines by attrition is a nonlinear function of time and depends on the percentage of agglomerated fines. Elutriation rate constants and attrition rates were evaluated at various particle mixing ratios and it could be observed that the entrainment rate at low air velocities was affected by interparticles adhesion forces.
