Q

I: Agglomeration is the formation of agglomerates or aggregates by sticking together of larger particles and granulation is agglomeration by agitation methods

Q

These are specifically important to granulation processes

A

Liquid Bridge Forces

Granules formed by _________ are usually not the ______ product in a granulation process.

A

Liquid Bridges ; end

32
Q

Solid bridges between particles may take three forms:

A

Crystalline Bridges, Liquid Binder Bridges, and Solid Binder Bridges

33
Q

If the material of the particles is soluble in the liquid added to create granules, crystalline bridges may be formed ________________.

A

When the liquid evaporates

34
Q

I: The process of evaporation reduces the proportion of liquid in the granules producing high strength pendular bridges after crystals form.
II: The liquid used initially to form the granules may contain a binder or glue which takes effect upon evaporation of solute.

A

Both Statements are false

35
Q

This is a finely ground ______ which reacts with the ______ present to produce a solid _______ to hold the particles together.

A

37
Q

There is considerable interaction between the _____________

A

Bonding Forces

38
Q

In aqueous systems adsorbed moisture can considerably increase ___________.

A

Van der Waals Forces

39
Q

I: Absorbed moisture can also reduce interparticle friction and potential for interlocking, making the powder more free-flowing.
II: Liquid Bridges Forces decay rapidly if the humidity of the surrounding air is increased.

A

Both statements are false

40
Q

If humidity is further increased liquid bridge formation can result in a return to cohesive behaviour. This effect has been reported in powder mixing studies by _________

A

41
Q

When the granules are very weak (Stdef > 0.2), they fall apart due to collisions and no granule growth occurs. This is the _______.

A

Crumb Regime

42
Q

All collisions between wet granules will lead to coalescence and the rate of growth will be high. Stv < Stv*.

A

43
Q

No collisions lead to coalescence. Granules grow very slowly by layering only. Stv > Stv*

A

54
Q

Layering is the dominant growth mechanism in the coating regime and is therefore most important for beds of large granules and low binder viscosity e.g. ammonium nitrate granulation, urea prill fattening and coating applications. Consolidation has a strong effect on the final porosity of granules produced by coalescence.
