    Notes: To investigate the influence of the stress history on the yield limit a shear tester was developed, in which stresses or strains in x- and y-direction can be applied independently of each other. Since there are no shear stresses on the boundary surfaces of the sample these stresses are principal stresses and the Mohr stress circles are known for each state of stress. First results from shear tests with limestone show a significant influence of the different ways of consolidation on the yield limit, i. e. the flow properties of a bulk solid will depend on the stress history. The flow function, however, which is essential for silo design, proves to be invariable of the stress history.

    Notes: Starting from Wheeler's composite theory, which takes both the multilayer adsorption and the capillary condensation into consideration, and assuming the equivalent cylindrical model, we have deduced a strict and relatively simpler formula for the calculation of pore size distribution by solving the integral equation directly. The formula is more convenient for application because of its recursion form. Following the same line of reasoning and using the mean value theorem of definite integrals under different conditions, we have unified the equations of Barrett-Joyner-Halenda, Dubinin, Cranston-Inkley, Dollimore-Heal and Roberts. A table of parameters which is required in the calculation is given. Besides the adsorption of nitrogen, the adsorption with water vapor as the adsorbate is investigated and the corresponding empirical equation of adsorption thickness is given.

    Notes: Particle size enlargement operations often involve the use of a liquid to improve powder cohesiveness. Capillary suction and surface tension forces acting through liquid menisci between particles are the primary source of the cohesive bonding. The strength of these forces, and consequently the strength of the wet agglomerate, is dependent upon the total liquid content, its distribution within the agglomerate, and the powder wettability (characterized by the liquid surface tension and powder/liquid contact angle).The tensile strength of powder compacts containing submicron carbon black particles has been measured as a function of saturation level for several liquids. It is found that the compact strength increases with increasing surface tension for liquids that exhibit a zero contact angle. Above the critical surface tension for wetting a more complicated situation exists where both the surface tension and contact angle are important.

    Notes: In order to characterize flow separation and classification processes, particle size distributions must be measured in the airborne state without affecting the state of dispersion or disturbing the flow. Light scattering devices with an optically defined measuring volume are specially designed for this purpose. However the light scattering device must be calibrated using non-ideal particles which are present within the multiphase flow, preferably on an equivalent diameter based on settling rate. Such a calibration can be achieved by measuring with an optical particle counter before and after an impactor in droplet systems and a sampling cyclone in systems of solid particles. By measuring the calibration curves the size distribution of the investigated particles are also determined. This measuring technique allows the best use of the optical particle counter in industrially relevant cases which may have high particle concentrations, wide distributions, non-ideal particles and an undefined state of dispersion.

    Notes: Disperse materials are often characterized by their particle-size distributions which can be determined by different measuring methods. Frequently the quantitative portions of the particle size classes obtained by way of experiment are considered insufficient and one strives for approximating the measured values by an analytic function. This can be reached, more or less satisfactorily, by power, exponential, or normal distribution functions which may include two, three, or four parameters.Publications as well as common practice have proved again and again that due to very rough or incorrect approximations wrong conclusions are derived from test and operating results, so that it appears expedient to investigate - when such an approximation would actually be advisable and - which function would be expedient in the specific case.Application of distriction functions will always be justified then when there is an actual need for utilizing the advantages connected with an approximation. Evaluation of a great number of measuring results revealed that the two-parameter functions in most cases only permit an utmost rough approximation which might give rise to wrong conclusions. Carefully classified products, however, mostly require three- or four-parameter functions for making an appropriate approximation.The functions, which appear appropriate for certain types of products, are set out in Table 1.In order to make the tabulated individual results accessible to a practical utilization a systematization was attempted. The outcome is a graph which is meant as an assistance for the practician and which presents the possibility of a quick selection of function type.

    Notes: In this paper a reciprocating shear cell, which has been developed to measure dynamic wall friction, is described. The cell has also been used to study the attrition behaviour of sand samples at the bounding wall. This attrition causes a considerable change in the angle of wall friction.

    Notes: Amongst the well known methods to measure surface area of particulate matter, preferably dry powders, only photometric methods can be used on-line.The basic equation for the photometric measurement of surface area is Lambert-Beer's law, which describes the attenuation of light (extinction) due to the presence of particles in a light beam. The attenuation being dependent not only on the size distribution of the particles in the light beam but also on their volume concentration. Since both effects alter the attenuation simultaneously the solids volume concentration has to be measured independently of the attenuation in a true on-line system. The instrument developed combines the extinction of white light with the absorption of γ-rays.Since the absorption of γ-rays demands more particles in the measuring zone than the attenuation of light, an aerosol stream of rectangular cross section has been used which allows the simultaneous measurement of extinction and γ-ray absorption.Apart from a brief description of the theoretical background of the instrument experimental evidence will be given of its suitability for on-line application [1, 2].

    Notes: High capacity preseparators are used to reduce bounce and blow-off of large particles in cascade impactors. In this paper, results are presented of a detailed analysis of the deposition of particles in two slightly different preseparators of the impactor-type which are used in connection with the Andersen Stack Sampler. The advantage of using any preseparator for aerosols mixed with large particles (x 10 μm) is clearly shown.A preseparator which is integrated into the impactor has the advantages of smaller overall size, accessible surfaces and, therefore, easier handling. The results of the study show that the reduction of unwanted particle losses is rather small when compared with a separate preseparator.

    Notes: The present paper gives an introduction to laser Doppler anemometry. The fundamental principles of this measuring technique, as well as the basic features of its instrumental realizations, are explained. The application of laser Doppler anemometry to fluid investigations often requires an adaptation of the LDA-system to the measuring problem. Basic formulas for the lay-out and adaptation are given.

    Notes: Inspection of the scattered light by two photodetectors makes it possible to investigate the velocities of droplets as well as their size in disperse systems and has some advantages against related methods. When this method is used, the size of the droplets can be derived from the phase difference of the signals from the first and the second photodetector.Special problems of this method are discussed in the paper. A system with fast signal processing facilities, working mostly digitally, was developed in order to solve these problems. This system derives several digital signals from the signals of high frequencies that are gained from the photodetectors. These digital signals are combined by digital circuits of the ECL-type. The resulting pulse series are fed into several digital counters. The data from the counters and from some other inputs are further processed by a real time computer that was developed for this special task, using an 8088 micro processor. This real time computer is connected to an ordinary personal computer by a parallel interface.

    Notes: A measurement method that approximates the spatial distribution of inhomogeneously distributed aerosols in a limited measurement plane is described. It is based on the evaluation of a comparably small number of infrared extinction measurements taken from the measurement plane boundary. The measured data are processed by means of computed tomography. The results are displayed on a monitor in a colour-coded picture of the aerosol-“density”-pattern. The basic design and the principal characteristics of the method are mathematically described and verified by simulation tests and practical results which are obtained from an experimental set up using smoldering wood as an aerosol source.

    Notes: The mathematical treatments used in the evaluation of particle size distribution from pipet-withdrawal centrifuge data are reviewed. An error in the published procedure for multiple-sample withdrawal systems is pointed out and a corrected formulation is presented. An alternative treatment, based on a piece-wise linearization of the size distribution is described. Computer simulations of the analytical and data evaluation procedures indicate that the errors in the original formulation are not generally serious and that the corrected and alternative procedures lead to very similar estimates. Except for some cases involving very narrow size distributions, the alternative approach appears to give slightly closer estimates of the size distribution. Comparisons based on actual experimental data are also described.

    Notes: A procedure for estimating the effectiveness of algorithms which retrieve size distribution parameters from cumulative fractions or moments is described. The principle of the algorithm is to select moments, or cumulative fractions, which minimize the condition number. Extensive tests of the algorithm for a distribution consisting of the sum of two log normal distributions were carried out. This procedure can be easily extended to use different numbers and types of constituent functions. The simulations indicated that moment methods which include positive and negative moments give the best result. When the means of the constituent distribution are close, the large condition numbers indicate that no algorithm will give unambiguous values for the parameters.

    Notes: Knowledge of the granulometric behaviour of dispersed systems is vital for a full and complete characterisation. Despite the variety of methods and devices which have been developed for this purpose, difficulties frequently arise in the practical determination of particle size distribution. In this paper it is shown, by means of examples, how measurements for surface modified and porous particles can be influenced by the behaviour of the material, and which approaches exist to obtain accurate values by taking this into account.

    Notes: The size distributions of carefully screened √2 size fractions of ground materials were determined using a Microtrac laser diffractometer. The size distributions were fitted to the empirical function P(x) = 1/[1 + (x50/x)λ] where P(x) is cumulative mass fraction less than Microtrac size, x. The standard deviation of λ for a 50 second test time was approximately 0.5, so that seventeen test times give a mean with an estimated error within ± 0.25 (95% confidence level). Values of λ were 5.44, 4.82, 4.40 for a coal ground under different conditions, indicating statistically different shape distributions; the average value for mica was 2.91 owing to the high aspect ratio of the particles. The ratio of x50 to the geometric mean sieve size was 1.2 for the coal and 0.70 for mica.

    Notes: When a particle crosses a laser beam out of the focal plane, the light attenuation signal occuring on the beam axis contains some information regarding the particle size and trajectory.These attenuation signatures are analysed and predicted with a simplified model based on Fraunhofer diffraction. Numerical and experimental results are found to be in good agreement.A modified laser Doppler velocimeter using this sizing method is able to perform simulataneous measurement of size and velocity of spherical particle in the range 10 μm-500 μm.

    Notes: The limiting resolution of Coulter size measurements, the size within which two separate populations can be distinguished, is discussed in relation to the standard aperture.Electronic pulse editing, by comparing pulse height to width, enables small particles to be resolved from baseline instrument noise, but can give incomplete resolution of ultra-narrow distributions from artefactually produced peaks using the standard aperture. Improvements in the minimum measurable size and in sizing resolution of narrow size ranges are also shown to be possible by improving the signal quality from the Coulter aperture.A novel mathematical approach is described for the derivation of true size spectra for narrow particle size distributions by deconvolution of the composite spectra resulting from the effect of the inhomogeneous electric field in the Coulter aperture. Simple empirical equations are used derived from the location and amplitude of the spurious peaks observed in such composites relative to the genuine peaks.The method is applied to three “industrial” materials (wide size range samples) to determine the likelihood that such size ranges are affected by the spurious or artefactual peaks. A fresh blood sample deconvoluted by this method is shown to be apparently composed of more than one population of cells.

    Notes: A model for the direct problem of calculating the forward scattering signature of a multiple scattering medium is presented. The new formulation is optimized for integration into schemes for reconstructing the particle size distribution from laser diffraction (forward scattering) signatures obtained from optically thick media. The analysis is valid for media where the particle sizes and interparticle spacings are large (relative to the wavelength and the particle size, respectively) such that Fraunhofer diffraction theory adequately describes the properties of the forward scattered light from individual scattering events. The simulated performance of laser diffraction particle sizing instruments was then studied using predictions of the scattered light signatures which would be measured by laser diffraction instrument under multiple scattering conditions. The results were compared with experimental data and theoretical calculations based on other models.

    Notes: By using a physical optics approximation, the scattering functions, i1 (θ), may be calculated for spheroidal particles of parameter sizes larger than 10. Emphasis is put on the angular location of their first extrema, as function of the refractive index, shape, size and orientation of the spheroid, which may greatly influence the outlook of their small angle 2 D patterns.

    Notes: A major problem encountered in particle sizing by laser light diffraction concerns the inversion of the diffraction pattern measured in a given experiment.Conventional methods for solving the linear system obtained can not be used in this problem, because the matrix is ill-conditioned and also because the diffraction pattern is usually determined with a low resolution annular diode detector. These problems may be solved with up to date optical detectors (linear CCD-arrays comprising 1024 photodiodes) and refined inversion techniques (conjugate gradient method and the analytical formulation due to Shifrin).These two aspects are described in this paper. Two inversion methods are compared and experimental results are discussed.

    Notes: This paper describes new progress obtained with an optical technique called V.I.D.E. (Visible Infra-red Double Extinction) which simultaneously measures mean particle size in the range of 10-120 μm and mean number density in densely laden media (up to 0.1% volume fraction). The underlying theory, taking account of multiple light scattering, is recalled. Simultaneous size and concentration measurements are obtained by simultaneously recording transmittances of the medium at two well chosen wavelengths. Experimental results for suspensions of glass particles in air, are described and discussed. The size of particles given by the technique agrees with that given by optical microscopy and Malvern diffractometry. The V.I.D.E. technique is shown to be very suitable to investigate dense media whose optical thickness is up to nine and for which other techniques fail.

    Notes: This paper is based on the development of the Moza-Austin technique for characterizing thousands of coal particles by approximate analysis of the major inorganic constituents Ca, Al, Si, K, Na, Fe and S in each particle. The technique has sufficient sensitivity to work on small volumes, is fast enough to handle large number of particles within a reasonable period of time, and consists of scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS). A computerized SEM-EDS system that allows the automated analysis of hundreds of particles per hour is described. The analysis is based on the location and tracing of exposed areas of particles embedded in a polished specimen, the selection of sampling points on the traced sections, the collection of an x-ray spectrum from each sampled point for a defined period of time, and the processing of the x-ray intensity to calculate point composition using ZAF corrections. Procedures for correcting for dead time, spectrum background, x-ray detector efficiency and spectrum overlap are described. Problems and future work are discussed.

    Notes: Inversion of the Laplace transform, used in the laser scattering measurement of colloidal particle size distributions, presents severe numerical difficulties. In the presence of noise the variance of the inversion integral is infinite, indicating maximum uncertainty in the inversion. This paper applies the method of minimum variance, or “optimal”, filtering to the eigenfunction spectrum of the Laplace transform, giving an inversion which has finite variance.Spectral decomposition using the eigenfunctions of the Laplace transform gives a representation of the noise and desired signals analogous to the Fourier spectrum used in linear system theory. It is possible to obtain a filtered estimate of the unknown linewidth distribution. The requirement that the variance of this filtered estimate is minimum leads to a Wiener-Hopf integral equation defining the optimal filter.The results of this paper provide a basis of comparison of all methods of inversion of the Laplace transform, including the extensive literature of colloidal particle sizing by laser scattering or photon correlation.

    Notes: The adhesivity of fresh coal fly ashes from two Australian power stations on Dralon-T monofilaments has been experimentally analysed. It was found that one of the dusts was more adhesive to the fiber and its particles were also more strongly electrostatically charged. These obervations explain the reported large differences in the pressure loss across the fabric filters at the two stations. By precharging the particles, the technique can also be utilized in determining the adhesivity of fly ashes which carry relatively small natural electrostatic charging.

    Notes: The paper provides a description of the local drop-size distributions in a liquid spray issuing from a 60° oil-burner nozzle obtained experimentally using a phase-doppler anemometer. The details of the optical system and the signal processing electronics of the phase-Doppler anemometer are included.Details have also been given concerning the use of the log-hyperbolic distribution and in particular of a procedure for determining the four defining parameters from a given experimental distribution, in this case that of drop size. Analytical formulae to compute moments of the distribution and the mean diameters are also given.All size distributions are shown to be well described by the log-hyperbolic distribution involving four parameters. The variation of these parameters along the axis of the jet clearly reveals a developing region of the spray followed by a fully developed state, for which physical reasons are given. The parameters can also be used to predict the local drop-size distribution at any intermediate location on the spray axis.

    Notes: Conventional shape parameters have serious limitations because of their inability to capture finer surface morphology as well as to regenerate the particle form. This problem has been successfully circumvented by applying Fourier analysis technique to the projected image of the particle profile to obtain Fourier coefficients which have been shown to be size inveriant and insensitive to starting point for digitization. Synthesis technique to regenerate the particle profile from Fourier coefficients has revealed that gradual addition of higher order harmonics brings the regenerated form very close to its original counterpart. The regeneration of the form of particles of different shapes as well as application of few strategy to harmonic amplitudes have amply demonstrated the capability of the technique as a potential tool for characterization of powders.

    Notes: Pulse holography can be used as a method for the experimental investigation of transport processes that occur in flows of dispersed phases. Since a complete evaluation of a hologram involves the measurement and recording of the position of every individual particle, it delivers all the information about the spatial distribution of particles at the instant of exposure.An exact knowledge of the spatial distribution of the dispersed phase is particularly important for those chemical engineering processes which require the spatial distribution of particles to be as homogeneous as possible. Maximum homogeneity is achieved when the particles are distributed purely randomly. For this case, the distributions of distances between neighbouring particles are calculated. They represent a standard which can be adopted as the basis for the assessment of real particle distributions, such as exist momentarily in flows of dispersed phases and are determined by the evaluation of pulse holograms.

    Notes: An electrodynamic balance and a frequency shifted Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA) were used to obtain rotational velocity data from nonspherical particles undergoing pure rotation. A charged oil shale particle (150μm × 150 μm × 60 to 80 μm thick) was suspended in an electric field and rotated at a constant velocity by subjecting it to a vertical air jet. The measuring volume of the LDA was located on the particle, and Doppler bursts were observed from both stationary and rotating particles. This observation suggests that micron-sized surface irregularities can act as individual scattering sources for LDA measurements. Signal analysis was performed with a counter type processor and a PDP-11 computer. The particle motion was recorded on video tapes from which the true rotational velocity and maximum radius of rotation were obtained. Within the experimental uncertainties, the maximum rotation-induced surface velocity measured with the LDA agreed well with that obtained from video tapes.

    Notes: The sizing accuracy of a commercially available laser optical liquid-borne particle counter is investigated. A calibration study, using aqueous suspensions of non-absorbing, monodisperse, spherical polymer particles, and a study using suspensions of non-spherical polydisperse, alumina particles are conducted. The experimental results from the spherical polymer study show an excellent agreement with the theoretical Mie light scattering calculations. The accuracy of the spherical polymer sizing is shown to be within 20% of the actual size. The alumina particle readings are compared to the readings of four different particle sizing instruments and to scanning electron microscope pictures. Although quantitative comparisons are difficult to make between the instruments, the results show a good agreement for the batch of particles with a narrower size distribution.

    Notes: As part of the development of a light scattering instrument to detect fibres, scattered light from finite cylinders which are exposed to light at arbitrary orientation is studied using the Rayleigh - Gans - Debye approximation. Form anisotropy, which is crucial to the performance of the instrument, is allowed for by using the Shifrin modification in which the elemental volumes are considered to be prolate spheroids. For long cylinders this is compared with van de Hulst's model in which the rigorous theory for an infinite cylinder is modified by Fraunhofer diffraction on the length. For very short cylinders comparison is made with the Mie theory for spheres.

    Notes: When measuring scattered light from single particles (as realized in various methods of scattered light-particle size counting analysis) nonspherical particles and particles with inner structure produce different signal heights (scattered light intensities) when differently oriented in the measuring volume. To study the influence of the particle shape and structure, the representative spectrum of all signal heights reflecting all of the possible orientations of the particle in the measuring volume was recorded from individual particles of a definite material in each case. Additionally from every particle an equivalent diameter was determined.The measurements lead to a very precise calibration curve and to a transformation matrix, that describes the influence of shape and structure on scattered light-counting analyses in case of the specific material. It is then possible to simulate measurements to determine the loss in resolution caused by the influence of shape and structure and to eliminate this effect from conventional scattered light analyses.The paper presents the concept together with results of simulation and elimination calculations for the material limestone and quartz. The corrected size distributions are compared with results by other methods. On the basis of this comparison it is discussed how successful the method is to recover a higher resolution.

    Notes: A single-stage impactor has been used to calibrate a Polytec HC-15/1 optical aerosol analyser so that this instrument can be used to study water droplets from approximately 1 to 20 μm aerodynamic diameter. The resulting calibration data were in good agreement with calculations based on Mie light scattering theory, and gave a conversion factor of 2.0 ± 0.2 between polystyrene latex microspheres and water droplets of the same aerodynamic diameter.Monodisperse water droplets were sampled by a Polytec HC-70/2 analyser, calibrated using the conversion factor of 2.0. The measured count median diameter agreed closely with that predicted from the well-defined operating conditions of the vibrating orifice aerosol generator. Size measurements of a polydisperse water-droplet spray were also undertaken with both a Malvern laser diffractometer and a Polytec HC-15 analyser; good agreement was achieved between the two techniques.

    Notes: The interaction of suspended particles with ultrasonic waves can lead to changes in the sonic velocity and also to extinction of the waves. An evaluation of the frequency dependence of ultrasonic extinction offers the most appropriate means of determining the concentration and size distribution of particles suspended in a fluid. With an experimental apparatus covering the frequency range from 1.7 to 81 MHz, particles ranging from about 20 to 1000 μm in diameter can be analysed. The measurements can be conducted with particle concentrations as high as 10% by volume.

    Notes: An Optical Particle Counter with optically defined measuring volume was investigated with regard to an application in the range of fine particles (f.i. water droplets less then 1.5 μm in diameter). Because of a problematic detection behaviour in the examined size range caused by the analogue signal processor, it was necessary to explore signals generated by the measurement system. In view of the results obtained an alternative signal evaluation method was developed on basis of a digital system. The high flexibility of software systems in signal processing rendered possible on the one hand a clear definition of the lower detection limit of the instrument. On the other hand it was possible to lower the detection limit and herewith the size of particles to be resolved. A practical application for the new evaluation technique is given by the measurement of fractional efficiency curves of technical separators and classifiers, which clearly shows the advantages of the system presented. Most recent investigations are concerned with the maximum number concentration detectable with the Optical Particle Counter, which could be increased up to five times.

    Notes: Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a new technique which provides an instantaneous velocity profile of a flow field. A PIV system at Edinburgh University has been adapted to study the phenomenon of roping in a pneumatic particle conveyance rig. The principle features of this PIV system are as follows. Double images of the particles transported by the fluid are recorded on photographic film using a conventional camera. The displacement of the particle pairs, which determines the velocity at a particular point, is determined to an automatic analysis system. PIV is proving to be a powerful method in the investigation of roping. A rope is a high density ribbon of particles which is created when a uniform air-coal flow segregates at a pipe bend into two regimes: one has a low coal to air ratio whereas the second regime, termed the rope, has a high coal to air ratio. This particular problem is connected with the pulverised fuel (pf) pipes of coal-fired electricity generating stations. The flow, as seen on Figure 1, is reproduced in a 26 mm scale model encompassing the main aerodynamic features of pf pipes. The rope forms in the vertical to horizontal 90° bend, falls from the top to the bottom of the horizontal pipe and creats a deposit.

    Notes: A comparative study of a few probability distributions generally used in describing various spray properties based on droplet size and velocity is described. Four different size distributions and three different coupled distributions, representing jointly size and velocity, are considered. A comparison of the results calculated for eight sets of data, taken from three different sources for the size distribution, and one data set for the joint size and velocity distribution, shows that the log-hyperbolic function presents the best choice among both one- and two-dimensional distributions.Considerations on one- and two-dimensional probability distributions are followed by a description of the conservation laws and their use in the prediction of the loss of momentum and energy of doplets. Finally, a proposal is made for how the sprays should be studied experimentally and analysed theoretically in order to obtain the maximum possible information. A few suggestions are then provided for further research in this direction.

    Notes: A concept of effective surface area was defined as a geometrical controlling factor for a chemical reaction involving powdery materials. It is not uniquely determined for the specific material but depends on the sort of chemical reaction as well as the state of agglomeration. Case studies were given for dissolution or decomposition reaction for MgO, Mg(OH)2 and Pb(CO)3 with and without preliminary mechanical activation and granulation. The effective surface area for dissolution is mostly the external surface of the agglomerates, although the internal surface plays a role to some extent, depending on the compactness of the agglomerates.

    Notes: The Leitz TAS-Plus image analysis system was programmed to automatically measure both the ‘shape’ fractal and ‘fragmentation’ fractal for various types of fine particle filter cakes. The automated nature of the analysis facilitated the collection of statistically significant volumes of ‘fractal’ data. This data was then revised, where possible, to conventional theories of flow behavior. Several new insights evolved from the study as explained in the following analysis.

    Notes: The spray properties of most practical importance, namely mean drop size, drop size distribution, radial and circumferential liquid distribution, cone angle and penetration, are discussed in the context of plain orifice, pressure-swirl, plain-jet airblast and prefilming airblast atomization. Equations are presented for estimating mean drop size and spray cone angle in terms of the relevant liquid properties, gas properties, atomizer dimensions, and atomizer operating conditions. The relative merits of these equations are discussed and compared. Some aspects of atomization in need of further research are indicated.

    Notes: Numerous methods have been reported in the literature for the measurement of (submicron) particle size distribution by turbidimetry. Attempts to apply some of these to coupler dispersions (oil-in-water emulsions of importance in the photographic industry) have not in general proved satisfactory, however, because small experimental errors lead to relatively large errors in the calculated distribution. In order to reduce this problem a turbidimetric technique involving measurements at two widely separated wavelengths, 400 nm and 2.22 μm, has been developed. Its accuracy has been demonstrated using polydisperse polystyrene latexes of known size distribution. With the aid of simple, purpose-built equipment, linked to a desktop computer, the technique has been largely automated so that it is suitable for use by an unskilled operator working in a factory environment.

In contrast to gases and liquids, the quality of solids is also affected by the particle properties, such as size, specific surface area, structure and shape. These are the properties which are primarily changed in solids process engineering.The accuracy and cost of possible methods for the measurement of the particle properties of feedstocks, intermediates and end products are discussed. Examples of the methods discussed are laser diffraction spectrometry, quantitative image analysis and photon correlation spectroscopy.The measuring techniques required for monitoring production processes in solids process engineering are illustrated by simple examples. In the field of process control in particular, there is still room for improvement, since there is a lack of suitable sensors and models. Process monitoring is necessary in order to ensure that product quality meets requirements which are constantly increasing.

    Notes: Aerosols or particles suspended in air are often filtered by pads of fibers. The particles collect on the surface of the fibers in chain-like structures called dendrites. An example scanning electron micrograph of 4.1 μm diameter particles captured on a 25-m̈m fiber was analyzed by a Richardson plot. The Richardson plot is the measured perimeter of an image as a function of the length of measure or stride length. Three distinct regions were identified. For long and short stride lengths, the linear fiber and spherical particles were Euclidean. In the intermediate stride length region, the dendrite was fractal with a dimension of 1.36. The fractal nature of dendrites results from the random position of particles approaching the fiber and the shadowing effect of collected particles. Fractal geometry is potentially a useful approach for describing the morphology of the dendritic structures.

    Notes: Fineparticle Science is the study of the production and the behavior of finely divided material. In recent years the technology of fineparticle science has expanded rapidly. Many of the new innovations in that science have important applications in mineral processing. An important recent development in the mathematics of fineparticle science is the use of fractal descriptors to describe rugged boundries. In this communication the use of fractals to describe cracks in N dimensional space and potential applications of fractal descriptions in liberation kinetics are discussed. Fractals can also be used to describe the progress of a water front in a secondary oil recovery system. The use of divers to study concentration gradients in settling suspensions (tailing ponds) are described. New studies aimed at the optimization of on-line quality control of grinding circuits are reviewed.

    Notes: The Activation of ultrafine particles as the condensation nuclei, or heterogeneous nucleation of ultrafine particles, has been observed in various supersaturated vapors. Monodisperse NaCl, ZnCl2, Ag and silicon oil particles, 5-15 mm in diameter, are used as the condensation nuclei and water, hexanol, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di-2-ethyl-hexyl sebacate (DEHS) are used as teh vapors. The supersaturated atmosphere is formed in the mixing type condensation nucleus counter (CNC) where a room temperature aerosol is mixed with warm air saturated by each vapor and the supersaturation ratio is controlled by changing the temperature of the saturated air. The number ratios of activated particles to total particles are observed at various supersaturation ratios. It is found that the activation of particles depends in a complicated manner on the combination of the substances of particles with condensing vapors, that is, activation in some particle-vapor systems is explained by the Kelvin effect but not in others.

    Notes: A technique for measuring the fractal structure of the rugged boundaries exhibited by lunar dust and a cosmic dust fineparticle captured at the outer limits of earth's atmosphere are measured using a equipaced polygon construction measurement procedure. The measurement procedure is described and data illustrating the precision and accuracy of the method are presented. The technique can be automated using inexpensive equipment and is suitable for use in teaching laboratories. Comparative data is presented establishing that the equipaced polygon procedure generates data comparable to that generated by the structured walk exploration technique. It is suggested that the fractal structure of extra terrestrial fineparticles may be of interest not only to the cosmologist but to the mining engineer since lunar dust represents fractured material not subjected to attrition polishing. Models used to simulate the generation of soot in combustion processes are discussed and it is demonstrated that diffusion limited aggregation Monte Carlo routines generate an agglomerate that appears to have similar fractal structure to the cosmic dust fineparticle collected by Brownlee. The data presented also indicates that one should use caution when relating the fractal dimension of a projected perimeter profile in two dimensions to the three dimensional structure of a rugged fineparticle.

    Notes: A dual gas flow chromatographic method is proposed. In this method, two different gas streams are introduced separately, one as the carrier gas and the other as the gas for creating the adsorption equilibrium. The thermodesorbed absorbate is eluted by a pure carrier gas. The complete curve of adsorption isotherm can be determined easily; therefore, both the specific area and the pore size distribution can be obtained at ordinary pressure. In addition, this method can be easily changed into the continuous flow method given by Nelsen and Eggertsen [1]. The relationship among R (rate) - V (volume) - A (area) - α (ratio) in elution chromatography are investigated, and the volume of desorbed gas can be obtained from Vd = KRAd directly with K = (αV)/(RA). The standardization for peak area is simplified and more convenient for the treatment by a microcomputer. Some results of specific surface area and pore size distribution by this method, and their comparison with those from other methods are given altogether, and the coincidence is good.

    Notes: Within grinding machines the load acting on the particles and the loading rate are widely distributed. According to studies on the breakage mechanism of brittle materials, the mechanical properties which relate to breakage vary with the loading rate. In order to elucidate the grinding mechanism within the grinding machines, it is necessary to obtain the relationships between these properties and loading rate.In this study, the variation of strength, fracture energy, new surface area produced by fracture and fracture energy with the loading rate (ranging from 10-1 to 109 N/s) was investigated by means of compression tests on a large number of spherical specimens. As a result, a singularity of crushing behavior was observed under an impact loading corresponding to a duration of time of loading the same as the natural period of the spherical specimen. The crushing efficiency is especially at its maximum.

    Notes: Locked particles are defined as those comminuted or particles which contain both gangue and target material. By considering the shape of the comminuted particles and assuming their random distribution in the ore body prior to comminution, it is possible to derive locking profiles which give the frequency of occurrence of particles which have a given fraction of their volume occupied by target material. For most particle shapes (spheres, angular particles, angular plates and rods) the locking profile is a deep U-shaped curve. This suggests that few particles by number contain about 50% target material while a far greater number contain either very little or very much target material. Such a conclusion is important in planning separation processes for locked particles in the mineral industry.

    Notes: The electric resistance pulse or electric sens Xing zone method, primarily invented by W. H. Coulter, is well suited for volume measurements of biological cells and other particles.This review summarizes the methodological investigations at the Max-Planck-Institut für Biochemie into the Coulter method, particularly for measuring biological cells.The distribution of the electric field in Coulter orifices was measured in enlarged model orifices and, additionally, calculated by computer programs. It is shown that the local resistance pulse height depends on the square of the local electrical field-strength and that the particle path in the orifice influences the measured pulse heights and the orientation and deformation of particles.A new transducer system is explained which uses hydrodynamic focusing and allows short time kinetic measurements. It is equipped with a calibrator system which serves also as general control unit.

    Notes: This paper describes an experimental investigation of the charge acquired by a single polymer particle when striking a plate. The particle was projected from a pneumatic gun with variable velocity and angle of impact. The deflected particle was then captured in a Faraday cup and the net acquired charge so measured. The measurements of charge are related, particularly, to the initial potential of the surfaces and to their work functions.

    Notes: The investigations of single and combined properties of particles or of particulate matter still belongs to the most important areas of present research and practical applications of Particle Characterization. Methods to measure single particle properties, as for instance particle size, shape, composition and velocity, are of much higher sophistication than before and they still aim at improved accuracy and higher resolution. There still is a considerable lack of understanding, and lack of theoretical interpretation and of experimental evidence of the differences seen in the correlation of different equivalent diameters, obtained when analysing the same irregularly shaped particle, or a distribution of particles, using different physical principles. Furthermore, there still is a lack of understanding of the influence of shape on the results obtained with optical methods using diffraction, light scattering etc., thus asking for more information with respect to the transferability of results from one physical principle to another. The measurement of combined particle properties comprises the simultaneous measurement of, for instance, size, velocity and concentration, which is of particular importance in the comprehensive description of multiphase flow systems. Those instruments which are in working order are highly complicated, not easy to use and to handle and they are in most cases special adaptations for a limited range of the variables to be analysed. There is also growing interest in the evaluation of socalled property functions. Particle Characterization will remain for quite a number of years just as exciting as it has been in the past. If industrial demand enforces the use of on-line instrumentation it might even become more interesting.

    Notes: In the field of material science, especially for polydisperse materials, many questions arise which cannot be answered sufficiently and precisely without information which represents the random character of the structure in space. Computer simulation is here an effective tool used to create random arrangements of particles which may be regarded as a realistic representation of the underlying material. Of course, the presumption that the shape of each particle is a sphere is an idealization which is a certain handicap in modeling all the possible system properties. Nevertheless, it can be demonstrated that, by having an adequate subroutine, many phenomena which are influenced by the local topology of the particles and their interaction forces can be studied in more detail.

    Notes: Miniaturized sieves (1/2 inch diameter) can be mounted in a spinning riffler system to obtain small representative powder samples which eventually can be sieved in situ without removing the miniature sieves from the riffler system. By mounting several different aperture sieves around the riffler a confederation of miniature sieves could replace nest sieving. The sieving surface for these new sieves is so small compared to that of the traditional eight inch sieve that one could consider using the more expensive electroformed sieving surfaces for all test sieves in the quality control laboratory.

    Notes: Loosened bulk materials occur, for example, during grinding in a tube mill. Thus, a rheological study of bulk granular materials which are loosened by fluidisation should lead to a better characterization of the flow and conveying properties of the material when ground in the mill.For this measurement of fluidised bulk materials an agitating device and a rotary viscosimeter have been developed, designed and tested.First results are presented and discussed showing the fluidisation behaviour and density of the bulk material as a function of grain size as well as the flow properties as a function of the grain size and degree of fluidisation.Finally, a projection of further research work is given.

    Notes: The commercial forward light scattering equipment, Malvern analyser was used to determine the size distribution of two crystalline powders in the micron range dispersed in aqueous suspensions. The powders used represent two different forms of a micro-porous crystalline adsorbent, silicalite [1]. Previous work by the authors [2], has established the partially absorbing nature of the silicalite crystals at visible wavelengths of the incident light. The theoretical analysis indicates that it is possible to obtain quite accurate size distributions in the (1-10 μm) size range providing measured values of the relative refractive index and the coefficient of absorptivity of the particles are used in the calculations. The present work illustrates the consistency with which the light scattering equipment can respond to changes in the measured size distributions as a function of a number of process parameters such as the solids loading in suspension, the period of agitation, and the intensity of agitation.

    Notes: It is shown that the number of particles which may be placed upon a slide is surprisingly limited if each particle is to be isolated. This is particularly relevant if automatic image analysis of size or shape is to be achieved without tedious editing. Using a simple mathematical treatment it is possible to calculate, for any particular size of particle, the number of particles on a slide which should not be exceeded.

    Notes: One well documented method for finding the fractal dimension of a silhouette involves approximating the silhouette with polygons which have all but one side equal and the vertices of which fall upon the silhouette edge. These are constructed using a divider stepping method or a computer algorithm which mimics this process. If one does not complete the polygon with an unequal side, as is usually done, but continues the analysis by stepping around the silhouette several times, the dividers start to „walk in their own footsteps“ and describe an equilateral polygon in the silhouette. These phenomena, termed polygonal harmonics, are examined and discussed in detail. A rule is developed for harmonic stability and specific cases of the circle, triangle and smooth curves are examined to gain insight into the convergence process.

    Notes: The performance of a narrow-angle and a wide-angle, forward scattering laser aerosol spectrometer has been studied as a function of particle size and refractive index. The results have been compared with theoretical calculations based on light scattering theory. The results indicate that for the narrow-angle instrument, the scattered-light intensity is not a monotonic function of particle size for transparent particles (a monotonic relationship is required for unambiguous particle size measurement) above 0.7 μm. The instrument is therefore limited in its useful range to size distribution measurement between 0.2 μm - its lower particle size limit - and 0.7 μm for transparent particles. In the case of the wide-angle instrument, the instrument output is a monotonic function of particle size for transparent particles, but the output is severely attenuated for light absorbing particles above 0.3 μm. The instrument, therefore, cannot be used for accurate size measurements above 0.3 μm for light absorbing particles.

    Notes: An optical particle counting system has been developed for testing industrial pulse-cleaned cartridge dust collectors. The system is applied to measure fractional penetration of a full scale dust collector and to study its short term and long term dynamic behavior. Results show collector efficiencies for dust loadings of 23 g/m3 exceeding 99.999% over the particle size range from 0.5 μm to 10 μm, with a minimum fractional penetration occurring at approximately 2 μm.

    Notes: The rheological behaviour of a fluidised bed of alumina powder was determined using a specially designed form of rotating viscometer. Several different geometries of the inner and outer cylinder were tested. In the machine the two cylinders can be rotated independently, in either direction, which enables both their relative velocity and absolute velocity to be varied. Thus, the torque on the inner cylinder, strain-rate and the absolute velocity have been chosen as the consistency variables. Some examples of the derived consistency surface are given. The characteristics of these surfaces could be explained by assuming different states of structure, to which a certain mobility can be ascribed. It is proposed that any state of structure which can exist in the bed is an intermediate of two extremes the first being the immobile state which is elastic and has a yield value and the second being the dynamic state which behaves like a Newtonian fluid.

    Notes: This study deals with measurements of the drop-size distributions of different types of fan spray atomisers using a scattered-light particle size counting analyser. The drop-size distributions were determined at various locations in the spray cone. These local distributions change systematically from the fan's axis to its border. Superimposing these local distributions, adequately weighted, one acquires the entire distribution of all the drops. A comparison of the experimental results is made with those yielded by mathematical equations.

    Notes: Cascade impactors are still the most suitable devices with which to measure fine droplet mists in gas ducts. This report describes the measurement technique and underlying principles. It is based largely on experience gained with a type of impactor that has been specially developed for droplet measurements, and also on applications of impactors in the chemical industry. Most of the measurement work has been undertaken in connection with environmental protection. The cascade impactor gives the mass-related droplet size distributions and concentrations within a range extending from about 0.2 to 10 microns. Larger droplets are collected quantitatively in the sampling probe, which serves as a precollector.

    Notes: Two types of asbestos fiber, chrysotile and amosite, form filter cakes of different permeabilities while having a similar degree of dispersion.The filter cake resistance depends on the disperse phase characteristics and the conditions of cake formation. The main reason for the effects mentioned is different particle flexibility influenced by the specific structure of each type of asbestos particle.The flexible chrysotile fibers in the cake form dense and rigid, amosite, porous deposits. An increase in the velocity of the suspended chrysotile particles, caused by pressure difference and agitation, results in significant differences in filter cake resistance.

    Notes: Particle penetrations through commercially available, electrically charged fibrous filters have been measured. The particles were monodisperse and in charge equilibrium. Tests were conducted for several particle sizes in the range 0.02 μm ≤ x ≤ 1 μm. The face velocity was varied in the range of 2 cm/s to 30 cm/s. The penetration has a bimodal dependence on particle size. This behaviour is not found for uncharged filters. The reduction in penetration and bimodal dependence is attributed to electrical collection effects. As the face velocity is increased, the electrostatic collection effects are significantly reduced. The results agree quantitatively with a model for particle penetration through charged fibrous filters recently presented in the literature by the authors.

    Notes: The liquid-air interface causes the droplet to act as an optical cavity which provides large internal fields and feedback. The stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) spectra of micrometer-size water droplets containing different anions (e.g., NO3-, SO42-, and PO43-) can be generated by a single laser pulse and detected by an optical multichannel analyzer. When the spontaneous Raman intensity of the ν1 mode of the anions is larger than that of the O-H stretching mode of water, the SRS spectra consist of the peak at ν1 and multiple peaks of nearly equal wavelength separation within the O-H stretching mode of water. These multiple peaks are associated with the morphology-dependent resonances of a sphere and the refractive index of water. Thus, the wavelength spacing of these SRS peaks provides information on the droplet radius. At higher anion concentrations, sequentially pumped SRS involving the ν1 anion mode can also be detected at Raman shifts equal to 2ν1 and equal to the O-H stretching mode plus ν1. The Raman shift of the ν1 mode in wavenumbers provides molecular specific information.

(Spray dried and comminuted) have been characterised by low temperature (77K) nitrogen adsorption to determine the specific surface areas, micro- and meso-porosities together with the thermodynamic properties of the Polanyi surface potential and heat (enthalpy) of adsorption.These physico-chemical and thermodynamic parameters are then correlated with the physico-mechanical properties of compactability to indicate the bonding strenghts of microcrystalline and microfine celluloses.

    Notes: Laser diffraction spectrometry (LDS) is often claimed to operate on the principle of Fraunhofer diffraction. This is only true, however, if particles are large compared to the wavelength of light or if the ratio of the refractive indices of the disperse and continuous phases, m, is clearly different from unity. In this study it has been established that LDS, as applied to particle and droplet sizing in suspensions and emulsions, is based on Miescattering. Scattering patterns of single particles may be calculated if the refractive indices of both phases are known. Thus, a theoretical basis has been provided for the application of LDS to size-measurement in suspensions and emulsions, and for extension of this method to the lower size ranges and those cases in which the refractive indices of the disperse and continuous phases are similar. Extension of the work presented in this paper will enable the calculation of scattering matrices so that calibration of the apparatus with standard materials may be avoided.

    Notes: The velocity for removal of particles adhering on a wall has been measured for polystyrene latex (PSL) and iron oxide particles at laminar and turbulent flow in a glass cell. The results indicate that larger particles detache at lower flow velocities and the width of the velocity range for removing adhering particles is wider when the particle size is smaller in the laminar flow regime. Both the viscous drag force for removing particles determined experimentally and the adhesive force obtained theoretically are proportional to the particle diameter, and the coefficients of friction were estimated to be 0.01-0.08 and 0.01-0.02 for PSL and iron oxide particles, respectively. The ranges of the viscous force, the adhesive force and the coefficient of friction are not so far from the values given by Kanaoka et al. [2].

    Notes: A laser multi-focus velocimeter (LMFV) for measuring particle diameter, velocity and refractive index simultaneously is described. A phase diffraction grating with pulse width modulation is used to obtain several focal points with almost equal intensity and to construct the optical system. The fringes of the LMFV using multi-beam interference have a sharper intensity distribution and wider period than those of a laser Doppler velocimeter using two-beam interference. Therefore, the LMFV makes it possible to measure high velocities and large particle diameters with high accuracy. The validity of the method was confirmed theoretically and experimentally.

    Notes: For a field intercomparison of various widely used dust samplers, a reference instrument was needed. Based on a Wide Range Aerosol Classifier (WRAC), several improvements were introduced compared with the original design including mass flow control of the samplers and the plenum air, brushless threephase blowers, hyperbolic inlets and generally a more compact design, allowing for more comfortable operation. In addition, for measurement of small particle size distributions, a Hauke high-volume, low-pressure impactor (LPI 150/0.15) was included, so that size distribution information with cuts at 0.12, 0.30, 1.19, 3.14, 10.2, 20.4, 37.4 and 60 μm could be obtained. In addition, the aspiration efficiency was measured under in situconditions and parallel measurements were performed with the two reference samplers built so that the performance was well characterized.

    Notes: The method described is based on the fact that the measurement of particles in the gaseous phase is generally easier than that in the liquid phase for fine particles smaller than 1 μm in diameter. The system consists of a liquid nebulizing unit, evaporator, condenser, mixing diluter and two different aerosol sizing instruments. It has been found that this method can continuously detect particulate impurities in ultrapure water in situ and can measure the size distribution of fine powders in the submicron particle size range down to about 0.05 μm.

    Notes: The progress of the compaction process to produce from an assembly of particles a coherent mass can be achieved by the application of shear and normal stress. The achievement of a densified coherent mass necessitates, together with the yielding of material, the movement of particles over and between each other. In uniaxial compaction the angle of internal friction, δE, is a projection of the unique critical state line which divides a three dimensional relationship between volume change (V), shear stress (φ) and normal stress (σ) into yield domains and surfaces. There is one region for failure and flow (the Hvorslev surface) and another region for failure and consolidation (the Roscoe surface).In this paper the concepts of the Roscoe and Hvorslev surfaces together with the Coulomb yield criterion have been applied to the uniaxial compaction, over a range of compactable stresses, of titanium dioxide (20-2000 kPa). The characteristics of applied and shear stress, angle of internal friction (δE), angle of shearing resistance (φ) and surface area (SBET) were measured and correlated with the compaction stress (σc) and diametral strength (σf) of the compacts to investigate the phenomena of uniaxial compaction.

    Notes: A method based on the measurement of scattered light intensity distributions is demonstrated to be able to determine directly the particle size of monodisperse supermicron-size particles. In all other cases of a particle cloud, information about the size distribution can be acquired from comparison of measured and calculated intensities as a function of scattering angle. This indirect method is only applicable if the assumptions made in the theory used for comparison are fulfilled. Therefore, the method is limited to spherical particles with known refractive index. The type of size distribution also has to be known. In the cases considered a log-normal size distribution was assumed. The uncertainty of the result increases with increase in the number of parameters that have to be determined. The method seems to be limited to unimodal distributions described with two parameters.

    Notes: A new basis for the prediction of the drop size and velocity distribution in a spray is developed, using the maximum entropy formalism. The prediction considers the imposition of integral conservation constraints for mass, momentum and mechanical energy on the breakup of an undulating liquid sheet. The resulting drop size distribution is similar to the widely used empirical distributions, while the velocity distribution is Gaussian, with a variance that decreases with increasing drop size. Measurements were made in a simple water spray using the Phase/Doppler technique to obtain the joint size/velocity PDF. Photographic measurements were used to obtain an estimate of the geometry of the breakup region, necessary as input to the model. Good agreement was found between the measurements and the predictions, except in the region where drag forces had strongly influenced the distribution. This discrepancy was expected, as drag effects were not included in the model.

    Notes: In addition to chemical composition, geometric properties such as particle size, particle shape, specific surface area and microporosity are important for the production of sintered materials. They influence, e.g., the packing density of green bodies, the sinter activity and the microstructure of the final products. Different measuring methods are surveyed, with a critical view of sensitivity and evaluation of measurement data, and new devices are discussed, including laser and centrifuge methods for particle size measurement and sorption methods with krypton as adsorbate for the measurement of specific surface area and microporosity. Finally, a correlation between the particle size and the specific surface area using fractals is discussed.

    Notes: There are three basic philosophies which may be taken towards the problem of calibrating particle size measuring techniques. The first is to assume a model of the process and that the technique is thus absolute. The second is to calibrate an instrument using the particles which are to be measured themselves. In this paper, these three approaches are compared and contrasted. As an example, the programme of certification of the BCR samples is cited and discussed. The paper then advocates the use of the equivalent volume diameter as the basic particle size characterization and its combination with other measurements as shape determinations. The representation of both size and shape in this way is conveniently presented in the form of orthogonal diagrams.
