Investigation of the Particle Shape and the Particle Size Distribution of Fine Bulk Solids by the Example of the Shale Cyclone Ash

Abstract

The article contains brief information on pneumatic conveying of fine-grained polydisperse bulk solids, as well as on the shape of particles. A method for measuring the particle shape developed by Kamika company is described. The determinations of the particle shape as well as the particle size distribution of the shale ash sample using a two-dimensional IPS UA Kamika particle size distribution analyzer are presented.


Keywords: pneumatic conveying, fine bulk solids, ash, particle shape
