Melt agglomeration modes

Two modes of melt agglomeration based on the elementary mechanisms have been proposed—distribution and immersion. In agglomeration by the distribution mode, a distribution of molten binding liquid on the surfaces of primary particles will occur, and agglomerates are formed via coalescence between the wetted nuclei (Fig. 3). In agglomeration by the immersion mode, nuclei are formed by immersion of the primary particles onto the surface of a droplet of molten binding liquid (Fig. 3). The distribution of molten binding liquid to surfaces of...
