The purpose of this study is to construct a turbulent aggregation device which has specific performance for fine particle aggregation in flue gas. The device consists of two cylindrical pipes and an array of vanes. The pipes extending fully and normal to the gas stream induce large scale turbulence in the form of vortices, while the vanes downstream a certain distance from the pipes induce small one. The process of turbulent aggregation was numerically simulated by coupling the Eulerian multiphase model and population balance model together with a proposed aggregation kernel function taking the size and inertia of particles into account, and based on data of particles’ size distribution measured from the flue of one power plant. The results show that the large scale turbulence generated by pipes favours the aggregation of smaller particles (smaller than 1μm) notably, while the small scale turbulence benefits the aggregation of bigger particles (larger than 1μm) notably and enhances the uniformity of particle size distribution among different particle groups.

This paper presents the results of experimental studies of arrays of Ag0.52Au0.48 alloy nanoparticles. Arrays were formed by vacuum-thermal evaporation on an unheated substrate and subsequent low-temperature vacuum annealing. The TEM images of the obtained nanoparticle arrays and corresponding histograms of particle size distribution are shown. The transmission spectra of these arrays showing the displacement of the plasma frequency as a function of the mean particle size are obtained. Spectra of Raman scattering from a thin film of amorphous carbon in presence of AgAu particles are obtained, and a comparative analysis of Raman scattering amplification factors for pure Ag, pure Au and Ag0.52Au0.48 alloy nanoparticles is presented.

This paper investigates the Impact of relative humidity, varying the concentrations of water-soluble aerosol particle concentrations (WASO), Mineral Nuclei Mode Aerosols Particle Concentration (MINN), mineral accumulation mode, nonspherical (MIAN) aerosol particles concentrations and Mineral Coarse Mode Aerosols Particle Concentration (MICN) on the visibility and particles size distribution of desert aerosols based on microphysical properties of desert aerosols. The microphysical properties (the extinction coefficients, volume mix ratios, dry mode radii and wet mode radii) were extracted from Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds (OPAC 4.0) at eight relative humidities, RHs (00 to 99%) and at the spectral visible range of 0.4-0.8mm, the concentrations were varied to obtain five different models for each above-mentioned component. Regression analysis of some standard equations were used to determine the Angstrom exponent (α), the turbidity coefficient (β), the curvature (α2), humidification factor (), the mean exponent of aerosol growth curve (µ) and the mean exponent of aerosol size distributions (n). The values of angstrom exponent (α) were observed to be less than 1 throughout the five models at all RHs for the four studied components, and this signifies the dominance of coarse mode particles over fine mode particles. But the magnitude of the angstrom exponent (α) fluctuates all through the studied components except for WASO which increased with the increase in RH across the models and this also signifies the dominance of coarse mode particles with some traces of fine mode particles. The investigation also revealed that the curvature (α2) has both monomodal (negative signs) and bimodal (positive signs) types of distributions all through the five models and this also signifies the dominance of coarse mode particles with some traces of fine mode particles across the individual models for all the studied components. it was also found that the visibility decreased with the increase in RH and increased with the increase in wavelength. The investigation further revealed that the turbidity coefficient (β) fluctuates with the increase in RH and the particles concentrations, and this might be due to major coagulation and sedimentation. The analysis further found that there is a direct inverse power relation between the humidification factor and the mean exponent of aerosols size distribution with the mean exponent of aerosols growth curve. It was also found that as the magnitude of µ increased for MIAN, MINN and MICN, the effective hygroscopic growth  decreased. For WASO, it was found that as the magnitude of µ decreased, the effective hygroscopic growth  increased with the increase in particles concentrations and RH. The decreased in the magnitude of µ for WASO might be due to the fact that as we increase the non-hygroscopic particles, we decrease the deliquescence. The mean exponent of aerosol size distribution (n) being less than 3 shows foggy condition of the desert atmosphere the four investigated components and five studied models.

AbstractThis study is conducted with the aim of investigating the efficiency of open and closed-circuit molybdenite ore comminution processes (primary and secondary mill, respectively), through mineralogical study of mills feed and product. For this purpose, particle size distribution, minerals distribution, degree of liberation and interlocking of minerals in mills feed and product were studied. According to the results, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, pyrite and covellite constitute the major part of the mineral composition of open-circuit mill feed. Minerals at the mill product, in the order of abundance include liberated molybdenite particles, liberated chalcopyrite and interlocked chalcopyrite with pyrite, liberated and interlocked pyrite particles, and associated silicate gangues. The d50 values of the feed and product particles of the open-circuit mill are equal to 13.80 and 13.40 microns, respectively. Degree of liberation of molybdenite for the feed and product of this mill is almost the same and is equal to 98.0%. Closed-circuit mill feed includes, in order of is abundance, liberated molybdenite particles in the form of blades and irregular polygonal shapes, liberated and interlocked chalcopyrite, and liberated and interlocked pyrite particles with gangue minerals. Molybdenite particles in the mill product are almost completely liberated, and the degree of liberation values of chalcopyrite and pyrite are 84.40% and 91.40%, respectively. According to particles size distribution of the feed (d50 equal to 25.03 microns) and the product (d50 equal to 24.24 microns) of closed-circuit mill, it can be stated that comminution is not well-operated in closed-circuit mill due to the low solid percentage of closed-circuit mill feed and the inefficiency of hydrocyclone. Examination of Mo, Cu, and Fe grade variations for 10 days in both off and on modes of mill shows that closed-circuit mill does not have an impact on comminution process. It can even be concluded that the mill has a destructive effect the flotation process by producing slimes.
