Agglomerator high pressure

Agglomerate porosity can be measured by gas adsorption or mercuiy porosimetiy. However, any breakage or compression of the granules under high pressure during porosimetiy can invahdate the results. 

The gas-driven transducers are simply whistles with high frequency output. Dog whistles and sirens can be given as the two examples of gas-driven transducers. These transducers can be used to break down foams and agglomerates of dust and for the acceleration of drying processes. However, these types do not have any significant chemical applications, as it is not possible to achieve a sufficiently high-pressure intensity in airborne ultrasound by this method. 

This method was similar to that used by Hiteshue et al (3). In this method sand (50 g, mesh 0.42 - 0.15 mm) was mixed with the coal (25 g, mesh 0.5 - 0.25 mm). The addition of sand to the coal helped to prevent agglomeration (4). All the experiments used an aqueous solution of stannous chloride impregnated on the coal as a catalyst. The amount of catalyst added on a tin basis was 1% of the mass of the coal. These mixtures were placed in a hot-rod reactor and heated to 500°C at a heating rate of 200°C per minute. Residence time at temperature was 15 minutes. Hydrogen at a flow rate of 22 liters/minute and a pressure of 25 MPa was continously passed through the fixed bed of coal/sand/catalyst. The volatile products were collected in high-pressure cold traps. A schematic of the apparatus used is shown in Figure 2. 

Adhesion of any mass of particles can be developed by sufficiently high pressure, but lower pressures suffice upon addition of liquid or syrupy binders. Table 12.12 is a list of some commercial agglomerations and the binders that they employ, and Table 12.13 shows how much moisture is needed. 

Under high pressure powdered PETN agglomerates to a mass which has the appearance of porcelain, but which, when broken up into grains, is a very powerful smokeless powder functioning satisfactorily with the primers which are commonly used in small arms ammunition. The powder is hot and unduly erosive, but cooler powders have been prepared by incorporating and compressing PETN in binary or in ternary mixtures with TNT,...

During operation, the powder forms a layer on the filer media, commonly referred to as a cake. This layer is formed by particle agglomerates which have been compacted together as a result of the pressure differential across the filter and powder layer. The system pressure into the baghouse builds with time as more powder is collected and then reduced through the use of a high pressure air back-pulse mechanism to momentarily knock the cake off the filter. The pressure response across the filters will be a function of the packed powder porosity and adhesives forces acts to hold the powder on the filters.
