Aggregative Behavior of Cohesive Magnesium Carbonate Powders during Fluidization and Aerated Discharge
In this paper we studied the aerated discharge of two magnesium carbonate powders differing in their average diameter and particle size distribution. These samples were characterized by means of fluidization experiments and rheology shear tests carried out in a rotating shear cell. In the hopper discharge experiments, besides the discharge rates and the mass of residual solids as a function of the aeration rate, the aggregative behavior was observed by means of photographic techniques. Solids aggregates were actually visible within the aerated beds of solids during the fluidization experiments and in the streams of the discharging solids. Experimental data on the powder flow properties and on fluidization were analysed in order to permit evaluation of the aggregate diameters. These values compared fairly well with the aggregate diameters observed and made it possible to evaluate the voidage values outside the aggregates. These results were used in a modified form of the De Jong and Hoelen [9] equation to predict the solids discharge rate with a reasonable degree of accuracy.
