Gas-solid fluidization technology has been commercialized in many industrial applications
since its implementation in the fluid catalytic cracking process in the early 1940s, however …

Euler-Lagrange method is powerful for studying dense gas-solid flow, where the Eulerian
grid is typically 3–5 times of particle diameter to ensure the accuracy of information mapping …

This paper presents a cost-effective method to optimize hydrocyclones used for particle
separation. It integrates a mechanistic model for data generation with data-driven models for …

Comminution and classification are the two major unit operations involved in the processing
of pure minerals from its ore rocks. In the current paper, an assessment is made on different …

Large amounts of microplastics (MPs) have been found in rivers and oceans, bringing great
harm to aquatic animals, plants, even human beings. However, the effective removal method …

Wall erosion is a critical problem encountered in operation and maintenance of centrifugal
slurry pumps. This paper presents a numerical study of the particle-fluid flow and wall …

Hydrocyclones used for separating coal particles (< 2 mm) by sizes suffer from particle
misplacement related to different particle densities. This paper presents a numerical study …

Interactions between feed size distribution and separation performance for hydrocyclones
with different vortex finder diameters (D o) are crucial for hydrocyclone designs but not …

Hydrocyclones are devices used in solid-liquid and liquid-liquid separations, in which the
substances involved present significantly different densities. Although the hydrocyclone …

Mini-hydrocyclones have been increasingly used as retention devices to separate
mammalian cells in the continuous cell culture. However, the cell viability loss after running …
