Surface Tension during Molten Metal Granulation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The surface tensions of a number of common commercial ferroalloys have been measured during their granulation in water. These measured values are significantly lower than would be expected from a normal metal-gas interface and are more typical of the interfacial tensions of slag-gas interfaces. This would seem to indicate that the slag-metal interface on the surface of a granule produces no significant interfacial tension. An electron microscope study on sections through the surface layers of granules showed that, in some cases, although not in all, emulsification had occurred at the slag-metal interface.

Here, we statistically identified the critical factor of the granulation rate during the fluidized bed granulation process. Lactose was selected as the excipient and was granulated with several binders, including hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The viscosity, density, and surface tension of the binder solution, contact angle, and the work done ...

A simple model based on the concept of a layered structure near the interface has been used to investigate the surface tension and surface segregation of SnPb and SnZn molten alloys. With increasing concentration of Sn, the surface tension (a) of SnPb alloys has been found to increase, while a of SnZn alloys decreases, a of both systems is smaller than the ideal value ZC, a,. Our study reveals ...
