Adsorbent morphology: influence of transient mixing conditions and feed location on semi-batch goethite precipitation (original) (raw)

Powder mixing is a part of our everyday life, but is the source of major industrial preoccupations. Mixing is widely used in many industries but until now design of mixing technology and mixing equipment belongs sooner to engineering art than to scientifically based calculation. Each branch of industry develops its own experience in the field mostly based on time and labour consuming expe-rimental research, and very often the obtained results cannot be used directly in another branch, i.e., the problem of mixing simulation and calculation is far from universality. This is why it is very im-portant to separate from particular sectorial problems the general intersectorial problems of theory and practice of mixing and concentrate the attention of researchers and engineers on them solution to build the general basis for scientifically based design of mixing technology and equipment. Current problems are associated with the definition of the homogeneity of the mixtures, the ways of measu...
