Gas-solid fluidized beds have drawn the attention of engineers and researchers as an
effective technology for a large variety of applications, and numerical simulations can play …

We review the sequences of structural states that can be induced in colloidal suspensions
by the application of flow. Structure formation during flow is strongly affected by the delicate …

Flocculation (aggregation) of particles is a vital stage in many solid‐liquid separation
operations. The process usually involves some form of chemical destabilization and a step …

Separation of clay minerals from industrial wastewaters is of great academic and practical
importance. Current treatment techniques are either not economically viable, not …

Methods of analyzing localized adsorption of colloid particles at solid/liquid interfaces were
extensively reviewed. First, the initial adsorption fluxes calculated using the Levich …

A wide range of test methods for monitoring particle aggregation processes is reviewed.
These include techniques for measuring aggregation rates in fundamental studies and those …

Explaining principles essential for the interpretation of data and understanding the real
meaning of the result, this work describes carious methods and techniques used to …

Dynamic aspects of polymer adsorption and flocculation are considered and their relevance
to the testing of polymeric flocculants is emphasised. In particular, the adsorption of polymer …

The kinetics of flocculation of heterodisperse suspensions like those in water treatment
plants are usually described by the Smoluchowski equation, which incorporates collision …

Rapid coagulation by turbulence in stirred tanks was studied for particles and aggregates
smaller than the Kolmogorov microscale. The coagulation kinetics are determined by the floc …
