Experimental Studies on Sedimentation Balance

Simple mass balance controllers for continuous sedimentation

The rational use of water in the mineral processing industry has become an im-portant issue due to the geographical location of many plants. The increase of capacity in manycopper concentrators has lead to an increased effort for recovering the maximum amount ofwater in the solid-liquid separation process. Thickeners work continuously to produce a con-centrated underflow and a w...

Computational simulation of flocculent sedimentation based on experimental results.

Computerised interpolation algorithms as well as the empirical model for analysing the flocculent settling data were developed. A mechanistic semi-empirical model developed from fundamental physical principles of a falling particle in a viscous fluid was tested against actual flocculation column data. The accuracy of the mechanistic model was evaluated using the sum of the squared errors betwee...

Experimental Consideration on Height and Distance Effects of Consecutive Small Dam in Trapping of Sedimentation

    Sediment transport is one of the important indicators of rivers in natural conditions, which is affected by the change in geometric and flow characteristics, and is reflected in the alignment or sedimentation of different river routes. Therefore, providing suitable solutions for sediment control and fixing the longitudinal slope of the substrate and preventing sediment transport from upstre...

Sedimentation and diffusion studies on insulin: the maximum molecular weight.

Studies on human glycogen. II. Sedimentation in the ultracentrifuge.

Early investigations of the size of glycogen by osmotic pressure measurements indicated molecular weights of 500,000 to 3,500,OOO for this substance (1, 2). Since that time several studies of glycogen have been made in the ultracentrifuge. Bridgman (3) reported that rabbit liver glycogen is inhomogeneous .with the maximum component, having a sedimentation constant of about 70 S and exhibiting a...
