Funded Activity Summary

Influence of Parallel Inclined Plates within Liquid Fluidized Beds. The aim of this study is to develop a fundamental understanding of the influence of a set of parallel inclined plates within a liquid fluidized bed. A broad range of systems that process particulate suspensions are very likely to benefit from this innovative arrangement. Considerably higher throughputs and improved separation performance are expected. A theoretical model will be developed and validated experimentally. The study will also examine whether a critical shear rate can be used to selectively separate particles on the basis of differences in density. This work will strengthen the potential exploitation of this new technology, and help train and educate a student at the PhD level in the area.
