Tomas 1 1. Introduction Frequently disperse systems of solids are raw material or product in the process industry (comminution, classifying, dust collection etc.). The knowledge of the dispersed state of material is of great importance, because size and shape influence the properties of the particle population (e.g. separation, mixing, agglomeration behaviour, flow properties). By test sieving, sedimentation analysis and optical spectroscopy any particulate material can be analysed. For fine particles smaller than 70 µm a sedimentation test can be applied. For an integral characterisation of particulate material the surface area is used. 2. Problem By doing the experiment and evaluating the results in the practical training you should know - the method frequently used for analysing particulate material – test sieving, - the evaluation of test sieving and calculation of the specific surface area as well as - the calculation of characteristic granulometrical parameter a) A particulate material has to be split up by a sample splitter. By evaluating the results of the done test sieving, please discuss the precision of sample splitting. b) With the samples obtained by material splitting two independent test sieving analyses have to be done. By graphical tests (normal paper, logarithmic probability paper, double logarithmic diagram etc.) please check if the experimental distributions Q3 ( d ) obey a known analytical particle size distribution (e.g. RRSB, GGS, log normal Gauss distribution). c) From the experimental results of the test sieving, please determine: particle size frequency distribution q3(d) median particle size d50 modal particle size dh mean particle size dm surface or SAUTER - diameter dST volume related specific surface area A SV d) Please convert the particle size distribution on mass basis Q 3 (d ) for one test sieving analysis to the particle size distribution on number basis Q 0 (d ) . Q 0 (d ) has to be drawn graphically (normal paper, logarithmic normal diagram, logarithmic probability paper, double logarithmic diagram). e) For a given material the specific surface area has to be determined by the Blaine test. Please calculate the mean values and the standard deviation of the Blaine surfaces (2 test series with 10 measurements).

Carrying out test sieving 3.1 Introduction Two identical samples of particulate material has to be sieved. Both samples are prepared by splitting equally the starting material (about 9kg) into two fractions by giving it on a sample splitter (see figure1). One fraction has to be split again, the other fraction is lost. The procedure has to be done until there are two fractions of about 500g. Both samples are analysed separately. The sample mass is determined by balancing. Figure 1: sample splitter For sieving a sieving set is used closed with a bottom, on the sieve with the largest sieving mesh there is a top (see figure 2). The sieving mesh is equivalent the particle size. By a vibrating sieving set generated with the help of a sieving machine the particulate material is aerated, for particles it is possible to pass the sieve as function of the mesh size. Figure 2: sieving set Hintz©Praktikum Granulometry I 2007.doc; Vorlesung "Mechanische Verfahrenstechnik"; Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Tomas 3 Duration of sieving has to be chosen in that way that all particles which have a size smaller than the sieving mesh are able to pass the corresponding sieve. Criterion for sieving duration is the changing of mass fraction (oversize mass) on the sieve. Sieving can be finished when the changing in mass fraction with time is < 0.001 g/(g overall mass . min). Abrasion resistance of the material has to be taken into account. That is why the sieving time is chosen that abrasion and comminution, as the chase may be, by sieving of sensitive materials are disable. 3.2 Carrying out test sieving Test sieving starts with the determination of the weight of the sample which is used. For that the container with the sample in it is weighed. After the experiment the container with the sample in it is weighed again to verify the sample mass used. After putting the single sieves together to a sieving set the sample is given at the upper sieve, then sieving starts. After finishing the experiment the sieving material is filled in a given basin (test sieves has to be cleaned with a soft brush) and is weighed (difference balancing). The oversized material forms the particle mass mi of the class i with the grain sizes di-1 and di (di is the sieve being above).The class of that material being on the top sieve is limited by the upper grain size d O which has to be estimated, as the case may be. Test sieving has to be done for two times under the same conditions. Generally there is a small lose of mass during sieving by e.g. adhesion of finest particle. The lose should be limited to μ μloss mges m0 mi loss = m −m m 0 ges (1) 〈0.01....0.02 0 - fraction of lost mass - overall mass after sieving - overall mass before sieving - mass of the i-th class N m ges = ∑ mi i =1 Normally the lost material is added to the smallest class. The calculation of the granulometric parameters is shown in the following section: With the help of the mass fraction μ 3,i of the class i μ 3,i = mi m0 (2) the cumulative particle size distribution can be determined by summing up Q 3 (d ) = d n du i =1 ∫ q 3 (d) ⋅ d (d ) = ∑ μ 3, i (3) Hintz©Praktikum Granulometry I 2007.doc; Vorlesung "Mechanische Verfahrenstechnik"; Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Tomas 4 The particle size frequency distribution is given by following equation q 3 (d i − 1 .. d i ) = dQ 3 (d ) μ 3, i = , Δd i d (d ) (4) where Δd i is the class width calculated from Δd i = d i - d i-1 q 3, i (5) - particle size frequency function Δd i - class width - mass fraction μ 3,i D i = Q 3, i - undersize distribution (cumulative particle size distribution) The cumulative particle size distribution on the number basis Q 0 (d ) can be calculated using the incomplete initial moment (particle sizes from du ....d) M k ,r d d = du ∫ d k ⋅ q r (d ) ⋅ d (d ) (6) du and the complete initial moment (integration from du..do) d0 d0 = M k ,r du ∫ d k ⋅ q r (d ) ⋅ d (d ) (7) du so that M − 3,3 Q 0 (d ) = d du M − 3,3 d ∫d −3 du = d 0 n μ 3, i 3 i = 1 d m, i N μ 3, i 3 i = 1 d m, i ∑ ⋅ q 3 (d ) ⋅ d (d ) = ∫ d − 3 ⋅ q 3 (d ) ⋅ d (d ) du , (8) ∑ The particle size frequency distribution no the number basis given by q 0 (d i −1 ... d i ) = Q 0 (d i −1 ) − Q 0 (d i ) . d i −1 − d i (9) The equation for calculating the weighted mean diameter is Hintz©Praktikum Granulometry I 2007.doc; Vorlesung "Mechanische Verfahrenstechnik"; Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil.

The mean fluid velocity in the pores is uε . For calculation the pore system is idealized as a pore system consists of n parallel cylindrical capillaries having a diameter dh and a length 1 (equals the packing height Δhb). A measure for the pore size is the so called mean hydraulic diameter dh (= mean capillary diameter). dh = 4 ⋅ A durchströmt 4 ⋅ VPoren = = U benetzt A S,Poren π 2 ⋅d ⋅l 4 h n⋅π ⋅dh ⋅l 4⋅n⋅ (17) Considering the porosity (pore volume fraction) ε = VPoren/(VPoren + V) and the specific surface area equality of an ideal pore system and a real packing (dST-Sauter-diameter) equation (18) results: dh = 4 ⋅ ε ⋅ Vs 2 ⋅ ε ⋅ d ST 4⋅ε = = (1- ε ) ⋅ A S (1- ε ) A S,V 3(1- ε ) (18) In according to physical basics for particle flow in fluids, it can be assumed that for the flow through particle beds the pressure loss (flow resistance) consists of two effects ( Δp ∼ η ⋅ u) and a) a viscous drag b) a inertia drag ( Δp ∼ ρ F ⋅ u 2 ) η fluid viscosity fluid density ρF with u = ε ⋅ u ε for the local velocity of current.

The constant KG can be determined by comparing with a known capillary or a material of known specific surface area. With using gases as a streaming fluid the density change can be neglected (with Δp being only small). If the Sauter diameter is dST < 5 µm (AS,V > 1,2 m²/cm3) the pores are so small that the average free path length λ g is not large enough for the diffusion of the gas molecules ( λ g = 0,06 µm for air at the standard pressure, θ = 20 °C, with λ g = 1/ρg).

Determination of the weight of the empty measuring cell with the sieving plate and 2 sheets of filter paper (without piston) 2. Fill in the powder in portions with a funnel in the measuring cell. Compress the powder with a special piston being longer than the original piston. The special piston has a mark to see how deep the piston is allowed to go into the measuring cell to ensure the necessary solid bed volume. After filling in the last portion of powder and sealing the bed surface with the second filter paper the densification of the powder follows in the known manner with the help of the original piston. 3. Determination of the filled measuring cell (compare2). The mass difference between this mass and the mass at the beginning of the filling procedure (empty weight) is the mass of the solid (m). 4. Determination of the running time of the Blaine apparatus in the known manner. 5. The viscosity of air as a function of temperature is given by the Sutherland equation: η = 1,503 ⋅ 10 -6 T T in Pa ⋅ s 123,6 1+ T temperature in K 6. Several materials show a special behaviour in that way that after compression a very strong reverse densification occurs producing a slit between the surfaces of the piston and the edge of the measuring cell. The slit can be determined with a gauge. Hintz©Praktikum Granulometry I 2007.doc; Vorlesung "Mechanische Verfahrenstechnik"; Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil.

If you use powder with known mass related surface area in the experiment you can determine the apparatus constant KG. The measured Blaine surface area for other materials arises as values relative to the calibration material. 4. Evaluation of the experiment and discussion of the results 4.1 Test sieving From the data of the experiment the functions Q 3 (d ) , q 3 (d ) as well as Q 0 (d ) and q 0 (d ) have to be calculated and represented graphically. The parameters of the distribution given in the instruction have to be determined. The conversion of the mass distribution in the number distribution results from the equations (8) and (9).
