Most geometry-related properties of packing materials are related to the column efficiency and fiow resistance particle size, particle shape, particle size distribution, packing density, and packing uniformity. Surface-chemistry-related properties are mainly responsible for the analyte retention and separation selectivity. 

Thom and Byers (35) discussed the design and construction issues that can lead to the inaccurate model predictions compared to field observations in that liquid distribution, packing materials, fouling, chemical reaction, and end effects were of great importance. 

In addition to the effect of nonuniform flow distribution, packed beds have variations in local velocity that also cause departures from plug flow. The average interstitial velocity is n /e, or 2.5 mq for typical bed of spheres... 

Oil Absorption (DIN EN ISO 787, Part 5). The oil number is the amount of linseed oil that is absorbed by a pigment or extender sample under defined conditions. The oil number depends on the nature of the extender, its particle size distribution, packing density, and specific surface area. 

As it is known from solid-state physics, any type of disorder will affect the electronic structure of a soM. Accordingly, size distribution, packing defects, and... 

The macro-scale physical character of catalysts refers to the characteristics of volume, shape and size distribution as well as related mechanical strength formed by the size, shape and void structure of particles and pellets. Industrial catalyst should have good macro-scale physical character, including surface area, pore volume, pore size and distribution, packing density, favorable particle size and shape and good mechanical strength. These properties not only influence the behavior of mass transfer, heat transfer and hydrodynamics (three transferee), but also directly influence the process of catalytic reaction kinetics. Therefore, macro-scale physical behaviours of catalysts is very important in the research of industrial catalyst.
