Plasma spouted/fluidized bed for materials processing

Fluidized Bed Processing for Multiparticulates

World wide in pharmaceutical industry, fluid bed processing technology emerged as useful application. Batch type fluid processes are using in pharmaceutical industry since 30 years. Originating in Europe, this technology gradually found its way into U.S. manufacturing facilities, beginning with the use of fluid bed dryers. The earliest fluid bed dryers were a cabinet type construction with a si...

Unsaturated railway track-bed materials

Railway track-bed materials are mostly in unsaturated state, and their hydro-mechanical properties depend strongly on their water contents or suctions. In France, problematic soils such as collapsible loess and swelling marl can be origin of instability problems for new lines for high speed trains, while the hydro-mechanical behaviour of interlayer soil formed mainly by interpenetration of ball...

Processing Capability of Apatite-Mullite Glass-Ceramic Materials for the Production of Dental Restorations

Introduction: There is currently significant interest in all-ceramic dental restorations. A potential non-metallic material for such restorations is an apatite-mullite glass-ceramic that could be processed to shape using different processing techniques. The aim of this study was to assess and evaluate the ability of an apatite-mullite glass-ceramic material to be processed using three routes: l...

Transport in Low Pressure Plasma Reactors for Materials Processing by Vivek Vyas

Plasmas are used extensively in semiconductor manufacturing for etching features and vias, for depositing metals to make interconnects, and for cleaning reactors between wafers. The development of plasma equipment models (PEMs) for investigating chemical, physical, and engineering scaling issues for plasma processing has significantly advanced in recent years. The continuous shrinking of the mi...
