Packed bulk density

From isotherm measurements, usually earried out on small quantities of adsorbent, the methane uptake per unit mass of adsorbent is obtained. Sinee storage in a fixed volnme is dependent on the uptake per unit volume of adsorbent and not on the uptake per unit mass of adsorbent, it is neeessary to eonvert the mass uptake to a volume uptake. In this way an estimate of the possible storage capacity of an adsorbent can be made. To do this, the mass uptake has to be multiplied by the density of the adsorbent. Ihis density, for a powdered or granular material, should be the packing (bulk) density of the adsorbent, or the piece density if the adsorbent is in the form of a monolith. Thus a carbon adsorbent which adsorbs 150 mg methane per gram at 3.5 MPa and has a packed density of 0.50 g/ml, would store 75 g methane per liter plus any methane which is in the gas phase in the void or macropore volume. This can be multiplied by 1.5 to convert to the more popular unit, V/V. 

One of the most important properties of a material is its density, for which there are several expressions, namely, bulk, particle, and skeletal densities. The bulk density of solids is the overall density of the material including the interparticle distance of separation. It is defined as the overall mass of the material per unit volume, which can be determined by simply pouring a preweighed sample of particles into a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume occupied. The material can become denser with time and settling, and its bulk density reaches a certain limiting value, known as the tapped or packed bulk density.

Hausner Ratio and Powder Compressibility. The ratio between the loose and packed bulk density, Pbdl and Pbdp respectively is known as the Hausner Ratio (HR) and is used as an indication of the cohesiveness of the materials, see Ref. 20. In addition to the HR, the powder compressibility is also used to define cohesiveness. This is expressed as 100(/9bdp — Pbdl)/Pbdp-... 

There is little or no information in the literature on the role of milk-fat on the bulk density, scortched particles, wettability, dispersibility and flowabil-ity of milk powder. Tuohy (1989) found considerable differences between the packed bulk density of regular SMP (0.85 g/cm3), WMP (0.68 g/cm3) and fat-filled milk powder (0.47 g/cm3). The packed bulk density of fat-filled...

Generally, ATH is considered to be thermally stable at around 180-200°C (360-400°F), and—with some reservations—until 216°C (420°F). Some data indicate the decomposition of ATH in the temperature range of 180-240°C (360-460°F). ATH is usually cream-colored, free-flowing powder with specific gravity of 2.42 g/cm loose bulk density of 70 Ib/ft (1.12 g/cm ), and the so-called packed bulk density of 55 Ib/ft (1.36 g/cm ). A typical commercial grade of ATH (for example, product of Alcan Chemicals, Cleveland, OH), contains up to 15% of powder with mesh size of 100 and larger particles, 67-87% with mesh size 200-200, and between 1 and 12% of mesh size 325.

The metal-modified amorphous sUica powders have a packed bulk density of at least 0.2g/cm. Packed density is measmed by placing a weighed quantity of sample in a graduated cylinder, and tapping the cylinder until the volume is essentially constant. 

However, bulk density does not measure the particle compaction which occurs when the particles rearrange themselves or are deformed. Thus, a second measure, compressibility, is the percent difference between the loosely packed bulk density and the packed bulk density. When the compressibility is less than 20 percent, particles are free flowing, whereas at values from 20 to 40 percent, the particles are prone to packing during storage. Compressibilities in excess of 40 percent indicate that the material compacts easily and will probably not flow from the hopper without assistance. In addi-...

This chapter will highlight the factors of packing (bulk density, voidage), rate of flow, compressibility of packing, flowability, failure properties and angle of internal friction, cohesion, strength and adhesion. The factors of particle size distribution, specific surface area and particle shape distribution have already been dealt with elsewhere (Stanley-Wood 2000, 2005). 

The packed density is determined by replacement of the extension box onto the powder filled aerated bottom box. Placement of more powder into the extension box, clamping the two together and vibration for 5 minutes packs the powder into the bottom box. Extension removal, levelling of excess powder and weighing gives, with the appropriate factor, the packed bulk density. This technique has now been incorporated into a standard test...

Although most modem particle characterization methods are developed, validated and presumably used for spherical particles or equivalent spherical particles, real particles are rarely such ideal. In many instances, particle shape affects powder packing, bulk density, and many other macroscopic properties. Shape characterization of particulate systems only scatters in the literature [60], since there are hardly any universal methodologies available. Several methods exist that use shape coefficients, shape factors, Fourier analysis, or fractal analysis to semi-quantitatively describe shape [Ij.
