A prilling technique was used to produce droplets of aluminum sulfate hydrates in the size range of 2-2.5 mm. Production of spherical particles of aluminum sulfate hydrates by using a prilling technique has never been studied, nor carried out. The effects of the orifice geometry and hydrostatic head on drop formation were measured. The flow rates of hydrated aluminum sulfate melt through bores of 0.08 and 0.11 cm were measured for liquid heads of 10-100 cm. It was found that the break-up of a liquid jet produced particles in the size range 2.0-2.5 mm with a 0.8 mm orifice. The modified Meister and Scheele correlation, which is the first application on a high viscous fluid in air system, was found to be satisfactory for estimating the particle size obtained by the jet break-up mechanism.

Filtration testing of a ceramic capillary filter produced from a high-silica glaze
San, O; Hoşten, Çetin (2002-07-01)
A laboratory procedure for the production of a ceramic capillary filter from a high-silica glaze was described and its filtration response was tested in dead-end and periodic vacuum filtration modes with suspensions containing micron and sub-micron clay particles obtained from a ceramic factory wastewater stream. The same glaze raw material ground to two different levels of fineness was used for the production of the porous ceramic substrate and its surface coating. The coating particulate sol was deposited...
Creep behaviour investigation of a thin spray-on liner
Güner, Doğukan; Öztürk, Hasan (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-01)
Thin spray-on liner (TSL) is a fast-setting multi component polymeric material applied on a rock surface with a thickness of 2-5 mm. TSLs are primarily used as an areal support element in a support system that also incorporates rock bolts. Different laboratory and field tests were performed to understand the support performance of the TSL for underground design. The research described in this paper presents laboratory studies of the tensile creep behaviour of a cement based TSL for the first time in the lit...
Atomization characteristics of bitumen crude-water emulsion
Romano, M; Allouis, Christophe Gerard; Beretta, F; D'Alessio, A (1998-01-01)
Measurements of the angular patterns of scattered light were carried out on sprays of an emulsion of bitumen crude (70% by weight) in water produced by a home-built air-assisted atomizer at different air flow rates. The size distribution of the bitumen droplets was previously measured by optical microscopy. A quantitative comparison of the scattering measurements in terms of the polarization ratio with the Lorenz-Mie theory allows the identification of the nature of spray and its droplets size distribution ...
Kinetic investigation of chemical vapor deposition of B4C on tungsten substrate
Karaman, Mustafa; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Doğu, Timur; Ozbelge, H. Onder (2006-12-01)
Production of beta-rhombohedral boron carbide (B4C) on a tungsten substrate by the chemical vapor deposition from a BCl3-H-2-CH4 gas mixture was achieved. An impinging-jet reactor was used to minimize the mass-transfer limitations on the reaction kinetics, which made a detailed kinetic investigation possible. Results of the XRD and XPS analyses showed that the solid product formed on the substrate is a rhombohedral B4C phase. Both dichloroborane and boron carbide formation rates were found to increase with ...
Synthesis and characterization of aluminum alloy 7075 reinforced with silicon carbide particulates
Kalkanlı, Ali (2008-01-01)
In this study 7075 matrix alloy is chosen and SiC particles having average particle size of 29 mu m was incorporated into the alloy at the liquid state before vertical pressure casting. Four different additions of SiCp were made and the weight fractions used are 10%, 15%, 20% and 30%. Composites were processed by vertical pressure/squeeze casting machine developed at Middle East Technical University (METU) under 80 MPa pressure. The mold is specially designed to produce specimens for tensile and three point...
