Agglomeration triggering

When the KCl(lOO) substrates are held at RT we can observe that the microcrystals are equally distributed in perpendicular directions. In addition to the increase in size with increasing Tgub, the microcrystals in the same direction tend to agglomerate leaving, however, the hnal microcrystal distribution unaltered no temperature-induced in-plane preferential orientation is observed. In case 3 a considerable number of microcrystals become curved. This is due to the triggering of in-plane growth directions other than the equivalent [110] directions caused by the contributions of the electrostatic and van der Waals interactions to the total energy at the interface (Caro et al, 1997). 

The more recent development of the balling disc and its unique pattern of movement, as well as the possibility to control agglomerate size, has triggered the interest of many researchers and scientists to investigate the balling disc theoretically and experimentally. 

Continuous suspended solids agglomerators Development of continuous fluidized bed granulators was triggered by the desire to increase the capacity per unit while maintaining product quality. From a process point of view the advantage of continuous operation is that stationary and optimized conditions do prevail. 

The action of the enzyme rennet on milk, known to destabllze a K-caseln and trigger agglomeration of a multl-caseln micellar suspension (ot,3,Y E <) to produce coagulated milk for cheese-making, has been shown to produce a reaction suspension with power law behavior also described by eqns (2.4-2.5)(Tucznlckl and Scott Blair). ... 

Higher operational temperatures of HT-PEMFCs as compared to LT-PEMFCs impose more challenges with catalyst degradation. This issue coupled with the presence of free acid in the membrane obviously aggravates both carbon corrosion and platinum dissolution, which in turn triggers significant agglomeration of the... 

Fig. 7.66 Drying of deposited droplets can trigger agglomeration at low binder mass fractions, but decreases the agglomeration rate when enough binder is contained in the sprayed solution (simulations conducted without implementation of the d ing mechanism are denoted by ND ).
