The problems associated with conventional (cylindrical) fluidized beds, viz., fluidization of wider size range of particles, entrainment of particles and limitation of fluidization velocity could be overcome by using tapered ...

With the mandatory requirement of recycling and reuse of electronic scraps arising from printed circuit boards (PCB), the non-polluting separation methods to separate metals and plastics are of growing importance nowadays. ...

It is well known that high rank coals are generally more hydrophobic than low rank coal or oxidised coal. Non-coking coal (sub-bituminous) of the Talcher coal field in India has very high ash content and is believed to ...

Statistical design of experiments was used to investigate the effect the process parameters on electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of alumina onto steel substrates from its suspension in iso-propanol. The process parameters ...

MgO-doped Al-Zr oxide composites of Zr0.95Al1.05MgxO with x = 0, 0.01,..., 0.05, 0.75, 1 were sintered to high density by both dc thermal plasma assisted rapid sintering as well as conventional sintering. It was observed ...
