Abstract
The bed pressure drop, minimum fluidized gas velocity, bed density, and bed expansion rate are important parameters characterizing the fluidization characteristics of gas-solid fluidized beds. By analyzing these parameters, the advantages and disadvantages of the fluidization state can be known. In this study, experiments were conducted to study the fluidization characteristics of a gas-solid magnetically fluidized bed for microfine particles by changing the magnetic field strength, magnetic field addition sequence, and static bed height. The experimental results show that when the magnetic field strength increased from 0 KA/m to 5 KA/m, the minimum fluidized gas velocity of particles increased from 4.42 cm/s to 10.32 cm/s, while the bed pressure drop first increased and then decreased. When the magnetic field strength is less than 3.4 KA/m, the microfine particles in the bed are mainly acted on by the airflow; while when the magnetic field strength is greater than 3.4 KA/m, the microfine particles are mainly dominated by the magnetic field. The magnetic field addition sequence affects the fluidization quality of microfine particles. The fluidized bed with ‘adding magnetic field first’ shows a more stable fluidization state than ‘adding magnetic field later’. Increasing of the static bed height reduces the bed expansion rate. The bed expansion rate is up to 112.5% at a static bed height of h0 = 40 mm and H = 5 KA/m. This will broaden the range of density regulation of a single magnetic particle and lay the advantage of gas-solid magnetically fluidized bed for microfine particles in the field of separation of fine coal.
Highlights
Fluidization technology allows solid particles to become quasi fluids under the action of airflow and have the properties of a fluid [1,2]
Geldart A + C magnetite powder was used for fluidization experiments to study the differences in fluidization characteristics at different magnetic field strengths (H), static bed heights (h0), and magnetic field addition sequences, and the two different effects of the magnetic field are investigated to provide a theoretical basis for the sorting of fine particle coal by a fine particle gas-solid magnetic fluidized bed
When the magnetic field strength is lower than 3.4 KA/m, Mb < 1, which means that the kinetic energy
Summary
Fluidization technology allows solid particles to become quasi fluids under the action of airflow and have the properties of a fluid [1,2]. The fluidization quality of fluidized beds depends on bed stability and homogeneity, which can be improved and enhanced by introducing external energy (vibrational field, pulsating field, magnetic field, acoustic field, centrifugal field, etc.) for fine-grained magnetic particles (Geldart A and Geldart C class particles) [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24]. Among these techniques, the introduction of magnetic field energy into fluidization and its application to coal sorting has been extensively studied [25]. Geldart A + C magnetite powder was used for fluidization experiments to study the differences in fluidization characteristics at different magnetic field strengths (H), static bed heights (h0), and magnetic field addition sequences, and the two different effects of the magnetic field are investigated to provide a theoretical basis for the sorting of fine particle (less than 0.5 mm) coal by a fine particle gas-solid magnetic fluidized bed
