Mechanistic Study of Nano-Particle Fluidization

ABSTRACT:
Degussa Aerosil R974 powder, with a primary particle size of 12 nm, was fluidized
using nitrogen in a cylindrical vessel, 50-mm-id and 900 mm in height.
Characteristics of incipient fluidization are analysed in relation to variations in the
initial packing conditions. Bed collapse experiments were performed and the results
are used for assessing fluidization characteristics of the particles. It was found that
nanoparticles exhibit characteristics of both Group A and Group C powders. Various
methods for estimating the cohesion forces between nanoparticle aggregates are
discussed.
