Particle agglomerate forming

Powder with particle size below about 1 pm Loose, unconsolidated assemblage of particles Rigid, consolidated assemblage or particles Agglomerate formed by compression of powder Needle-shaped... 

A further key feature of the design provides for self-regulation of the overall amount of solid material in the bed by means of a weir over which the overload flows to an adjacent chamber from which it may be withdrawn. The reactor product gas passes through a candle filter installed in the bed freeboard, and so arranged that the fine particle agglomerates formed at its surface fall to the top of the bed and so over the weir. 

Red shifts of the broad plasmon bands are observed initially in cases where the particle formation is slow, such as in solutions of polymers with low molar mass. Blue shifts and a narrowing of the plasmon band occur in a subsequent step smaller blue shifts are noticed when the formation process is fast. Similar effects have been reported before, and have been explained under the assumption that small Au particles agglomerate forming particle networks (9b, 10). The red shifts and broadening of the... 

In the post-dispersion process, the soHd phenoHc resin is added to a mixture of water, cosolvent, and dispersant at high shear mixing, possibly with heating. The cosolvent, frequently an alcohol or glycol ether, and heat soften the resin and permit small particles to form. On cooling, the resin particles, stabilized by dispersant and perhaps thickener, harden and resist settling and agglomeration. Both resole and novolak resins have been made by this process (25).

Equation 6.5 can be solved in an analytical form for two limiting cases in which besides nucleation only either (1) crystal growth or (2) particle agglomeration occurs. 

Dry agglomerates formed by dry handling. These are loosely held particles and aggregates cushioned from one another with absorbed air. They may range in size up to V4 inch (11). 

The cluster size distribution in the limit of small mass [x < s(f)] depends on the properties of the agglomerates undergoing fragmentation. If infinitesimal particles are formed on a single breakage, that is, b(r) r", then... 

This method of nanodispersed metal production has the advantages as compared with the previous one because metal reduction is performed at sufficiently low temperatures (20-200°C). That is why the diffusion of atoms and migration of the formed metal particles is suppressed, no metal particles agglomeration occurred.
