Studies On Granulation in a Fluidized Bed II. The Effects of the Amount of the Binder on the Physical Properties of Granules Formed in a Fluidized Bed

Abstract

As the physical properties of granules formed in a fluidized bed with spraying of a binder are considerably affected by the amount of the binder, it as important to know this effect from both theoretical and practical points of view. The most important conclusions on the effect of changes in the amount of the binder, found in literature are summarized. The experimental set up, the methodology and the test methods for the determination of the physical properties of the granules are outlined. The results of the experiments relating to the effect of the amount, concentration and feed rate of the liquid on the Figures. The experimental results are evaluated and an equation is given for the calculation of the average particle side of the granules.
