Mechanism in particle-aggregation processes

The significance of this novel attempt lies in the inclusion of both the additional particle co-ordinate and in a mechanism of particle disruption by primary particle attrition in the population balance. This formulation permits prediction of secondary particle characteristics, e.g. specific surface area expressed as surface area per unit volume or mass of crystal solid (i.e. m /m or m /kg). It can also account for the formation of bimodal particle size distributions, as are observed in many precipitation processes, for which special forms of size-dependent aggregation kernels have been proposed previously. 

Equations of the kinetic theory make it possible to describe processes of particle redistribution between the layers of the subsurface region and of the change in their state of aggregation in each layer. This reflects most of the possible mechanisms of the reorganization processes, including the change in the structure (symmetry) and the lattice parameters (recall that the...
