Han, Sung-Hee,Park, Soo-Jea,Lee, Seog-Won,Rhee, Chul The Korean Society of Food Science and Nutrition 2010 Preventive Nutrition and Food Science Vol.15 No.1

The effects of particle sizes (small, medium and large sizes) and gelatinization treatment on the changes of the instant properties of Job's tears powder were investigated. The degree of gelatinization on the different particle size samples of Job's tears powder was the highest in the small particle size, and it also showed an increasing trend regardless of pregelatinizing whether it is or not as the particle size decreased from large particle size to small particle size. The water solubility index of the pregelatinized samples was high compared to that of ungelatinized samples regardless of particle size and temperatures. The water absorption and swelling power increased as particle size and temperature were increased. The dispersibility and sinkability of ungelatinized sample was increased as particle size and temperature were increased and it also showed lower value regardless of particle size and temperature. However, the dispersibility and sinkability of pregelatinized samples were shown to have the opposite result, such that the smallest particle size of pregelatinized sample had the lowest sinkability (11.3%). The turbidity of the pregelatinized small particle size was the highest by a factor of 1.08.

Effect of biochar particle size on hydrophobic organic compound sorption kinetics: Applicability of using representative size

Kang, Seju,Jung, Jihyeun,Choe, Jong Kwon,Ok, Yong Sik,Choi, Yongju Elsevier 2018 Science of the Total Environment Vol.619 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Particle size of biochar may strongly affect the kinetics of hydrophobic organic compound (HOC) sorption. However, challenges exist in characterizing the effect of biochar particle size on the sorption kinetics because of the wide size range of biochar. The present study suggests a novel method to determine a representative value that can be used to show the dependence of HOC sorption kinetics to biochar particle size on the basis of an intra-particle diffusion model. Biochars derived from three different feedstocks are ground and sieved to obtain three daughter products each having different size distributions. Phenanthrene sorption kinetics to the biochars are well described by the intra-particle diffusion model with significantly greater sorption rates observed for finer grained biochars. The time to reach 95% of equilibrium for phenanthrene sorption to biochar is reduced from 4.6–17.9days for the original biochars to <1–4.6days for the powdered biochars with <125μm in size. A moderate linear correlation is found between the inverse square of the representative biochar particle radius obtained using particle size distribution analysis and the apparent phenanthrene sorption rates determined by the sorption kinetics experiments and normalized to account for the variation of the sorption rate-determining factors other than the biochar particle radius. The results suggest that the representative biochar particle radius reasonably describes the dependence of HOC sorption rates on biochar particle size.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Phenanthrene sorption rate strongly depends on biochar particle size. </LI> <LI> The sorption kinetics is well described by the intraparticle diffusion model. </LI> <LI> Harmonic intensity averaged radius (<I>R</I> <SUB> <I>z</I> </SUB>) is used as a representative biochar radius. </LI> <LI> <I>R</I> <SUB> <I>z</I> </SUB> describes the dependence of sorption kinetics on biochar particle size. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

The efficiency of the synthetic magnesium silicate used in basic polyols and edible oil purification is evaluated by its purification ability and filtration rate and is affected by the particle size and surface area of magnesium silicate. In this study, it was investigated the change on the particle size of magnesium silicate was influenced by the reaction temperature, injection rate, injection order (Si, Mg) and Mg/Si reaction mole ratio. The synthesized magnesium silicate was compared and analyzed for the synthesis, grinding, and refining processes. In the synthesis process, the reaction temperature and feed rate did not affect the average particle size change of magnesium silicate, while the reaction molar ratio of Mg / Si and the order of injection acted as main factors for the change of average particle size. The average particle size of magnesium silicate increased by 8.7 μm from 54.4 μm to 63.1 μm at Mg injection when Mg molar ratio increased from 0.125 to 0.500, and increased by about 4.8 μm from 47.3 μm to 52.1 μm at Si injection. The average particle size according to the order of injection was 59.1 μm for Mg injection and 48.4 μm for Si injection and the difference was shown 10.7 μm, therefore the filtration rate was about 2 times faster under the condition of Mg injection. That is, as the particle size increases, the filtration time is shortened and washing filtration rate can be increased to improve the productivity of magnesium silicate. The cake form of separated magnesium silicate after filtration becomes a solid through drying process and is used as powdery adsorbent through the grinding process. As the physical strength of the dried magnesium silicate increased, the average particle size of the powder increased and it was confirmed that this strength was affected by the reaction molar ratio. As the reaction molar ratio of Mg / Si increased, the physical strength of magnesium silicate decreased and the average particle size after grinding decreased by about 40% compared to the average particle size after synthesis. This reduction of strength resulted in an improvement of the refining ability due to the decrease of the average particle size and the increase of the amount of fine particle after the pulverization, but it resulted in the decrease of the purification filtration rate. While the molar ratio of Mg/Si was increased from 0.125 to 0.5 at Mg injection, the refining ability increased about 1.3 times, but the purification filtration rate decreased about 1.5 times. Therefore, in order to improve the productivity of magnesium silicate, the reaction molar ratio of Mg / Si should be increased, but in order to increase the purification filtration rate of the polyol, the reaction molar ratio should be decreased. In the synthesis parameters of magnesium silicate, the order of injection and the reaction molar ratio of Mg / Si are important factors affecting the changes in average particle size after synthesis and the changes of particle size after grinding due to the changes of compressive strength, therefore the synthetic parameter is an important thing that determines productivity and refining capacity. 염기성 폴리올 및 식용유 정제에 사용하는 합성 규산마그네슘의 효율성은 정제능력과 여과속도를 통해 평가되며, 규산마그네슘의 입도 및 표면적에 따라 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 합성변수인 반응온도, 주입속도, 주입순서(Si, Mg), Mg/Si의 반응몰비가 규산마그네슘의 입도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 합성된 규산마그네슘은 합성공정, 분쇄공정, 정제공정으로 비교 분석되었다. 합성공정에서 반응 온도와 주입 속도는 규산마그네슘의 평균입도 변화에 영향을 주지않는 반면, Mg/Si의 반응몰비와 주입 순서는 평균입도 변화에 주된 요인으로 작용하였다. 합성 후 규산마그네슘의 평균입도는 반응몰비가 0.125에서 0.500로 증가할 때 Mg 주입 시 약 54.4 μm에서 63.1 μm로 약 8.7 μm 증가하였고, Si 주입 시 47.3 μm에서 52.1 μm로 약 4.8 μm 증가하였다. 주입 순서 별 평균입도를 비교해보면 Mg 주입 시 59.1 μm, Si 주입 시 48.4 μm로 약 10.7 μm의 평균입도 차이를 보였으며 Mg을 주입하는 조건에서 약 2배 빠른 수세여과속도가 관찰되었다. 즉, 입도가 증가함에 따라 여과 시간이 단축되고 수세여과속도 증가로 생산성 향상에 기여할 수 있었다. 여과 후 분리된 cake형태의 규산마그네슘은 건조과정을 통해 단단한 고형체가 되고 분쇄공정을 통해 분말형태의 흡착제로 사용된다. 건조된 규산마그네슘의 물리적 강도가 감소함에 따라 분말의 평균입도가 감소하고, 이 강도는 반응몰비에 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다. Mg주입 시 Mg/Si의 반응몰비가 증가함에 따라 규산마그네슘의 물리적 강도가 감소하여 분쇄 후 평균입도가 합성 후 평균입도에 비해 약 40% 감소하는 것을 관찰하였다. 이러한 강도감소는 평균입도감소와 분쇄 후 미분량의 증가로 정제능력의 향상을 가져왔지만 정제여과속도 감소를 가져왔다. Mg 주입 시 반응몰비가 0.125에서 0.5로 증가할 동안 정제능력은 약 1.3 배가 증가하였으나 정제여과속도는 약 1.5 배가 감소하였다. 따라서 규산마그네슘의 생산성 향상을 위해서는 Mg/Si의 반응몰비를 증가시켜야 하지만, 폴리올의 정제여과속도를 증가시키기 위해선 반응몰비를 감소시켜야 한다. 규산마그네슘의 합성변수 중 주입순서와 Mg/Si의 반응몰비는 합성 후 평균입도와 분쇄 후 평균입도 및 미분량 변화에 영향을 주는 주요인자로 생산성 및 정제능력을 결정짓는 중요한 합성변수이다

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of feed processing and particle size on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics, and gastric health in growing-finishing pigs. Methods: A total of 360 growing pigs (22.64±0.014 kg initial body weight [BW]) were allocated to 1 of 6 treatments with 6 replicates by BW and sex, and 10 pigs were housed in one pen in a randomized complete block design. The BW and feed intake were recorded to calculate growth performance. For the digestibility trial, a total of 24 barrows with an initial BW of 33.65±0.372 kg were split into 6 treatments with a completely randomized design. Dietary treatments were designed by a 2×3 factorial arrangement of treatments based on two main factors, particle size (600, 750, 900 μm) and feed form (mash and pellet) of diet. Experimental diets were formulated to contain the requirements of the NRC (2012). Results: The BW and average daily gain were not changed by dietary treatments, and the feed intake of finishing pigs (wks 6 to 12) was increased when the pigs were fed a mash diet (p<0.05). For the overall period, the feed efficiency of pigs was improved with the pellet diet (p<0.01) and reduced particle size (p<0.05). The pellet diet had effects on increasing crude fat digestibility (p<0.01) relative to a mash diet, but there was no considerable change in dry matter and crude protein digestibilities by dietary treatments. In the evaluation of gastric health, a trend for an increased incidence of keratinization in the esophageal region was observed as particle size decreased (p = 0.07). Conclusion: Feed efficiency could be improved by pellet diet and reduced particle size. Nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics, and gastric health were not affected by feed form, and particle size ranged from 600 to 900 μm.

TEOS/O₂플라즈마 반응기에서 미립자 성장에 대한 실험적 분석

김동주,김교선 江原大學校 産業技術硏究所 2001 産業技術硏究 Vol.21 No.B

A study on the particle growth in TEOS/O2 plasma was performed, and particle size and its distribution was measured by the electrical aerosol analyzer (EAA), light scattering particle size analyzer and the particle size was also determined by SEM, the effects of process variables such as total gas flow rate, reactor pressure, supplied power and initial reactant concentration on the particle growth were investigated. From the EAA results, the particle size distribution is divided into three groups of the cluster size and the small and large size particles. The particle size distribution measured by the light scattering particle size analyzer becomes bimodal, because the cluster size particles smaller than 20nm in diameter cannot be detected by the light scattering particle size analyzer. The size of particles measured by the light scattering particle size analyzer is in good agreements with those by the SEM. Also we could understand that the particle formation is very sensitive to the changes of reactor pressure and reactant concentration. As the total gas flow rate increases, the particle size deceases because of the shorter residence time. As the reactor pressure, or the reactant concentration increases, the particle concentration increases and the particles grow more quickly by the faster coagulation between particles.

Two different methods (Sieve shaker, Elzone particle size analyzer) were used to investigate rice flour particle size obtained by various milling method. Results of Elzone particle size analyzer were more effective than Sieve shaker in determining particle size, and the distribution of particle size of rice flours was affected by the type of the milling methods used. A rice flour, prepared in a Pin mill had a particle size range of $60{\sim}500$ mesh, and 30.38% of the sample was in the particle size range $200{\sim}270$ mesh. A rice flour, prepared in a Colloid mill had a particle size range of $40{\sim}500$ mesh and more of flour particles appeared in the range $140{\sim}200$ mesh than any other particle size. A rice flour, prepared in a Micro mill had a particle size range of $140{\sim}500$ mesh, and 41.62% of the sample was in the particle size range over 500 mesh. A rife flour, prepared in a Jet mill had a finer flour particle size was over the particle size range 500 mesh. The finer rice flour gave the highest L value and the lowest a value. The wet-milled flour particles were observed as a cluster of starch granules and the particles of rice flour (dry-milling) were observed as fragment of rice grains. Scanning Electron Photomicrographs revealed that visual differences in structure between milling methods, and similar results with Elzone particle size analyzer method in particle size.

Colloid mill은 $140{\sim}200mesh$가 가장 많았으며, $40{\sim}500mesh$의 분포도를 가졌다. Micro mill은 500mesh 이상이 41.62%로 가장 많았고 $140{\sim}500mesh$의 분포도를 보여주었다. Jet mill은 500 mesh 이상의 분포도로 입자크기가 가장 미세하였다. 또한 미세한 입자일수록 L간과 a값이 증가하였다. 쌀가루의 집합체를 살펴본 결과 습식제분은 분리된 쌀가루의 집합체형태로 구성되어 있고 건식제분은 분활된 조직체로 구성되었다. 전자주사현미경은 Elzone particle size analyzer 방법과 같은 입자분포도를 나타내었고 제분방법에 따라 구조의 특성을 보여주었다.

Coal-particle size effects on NO reduction and burnout characteristics with air-staged combustion in a pulverized coal-fired furnace

Sung, Y.,Moon, C.,Eom, S.,Choi, G.,Kim, D. Butterworths [etc.] ; Elsevier Science Ltd 2016 Fuel Vol.182 No.-

The influence of coal-particle size on nitrogen oxide (NO<SUB>x</SUB>) emission and burnout characteristics was experimentally investigated in a pulverized coal-fired furnace. This study was carried out for a range of particle sizes, namely, mean sizes of 52, 73, 102, and 107μm. Detailed in-furnace measurements of gas temperature and gas species concentrations (O<SUB>2</SUB>, CO<SUB>2</SUB>, CO, and NO) were performed for two particle sizes (52 and 107μm) in both unstaged and air-staged flames. The results show that the overall temperature of the flames with a mean particle size of 52μm is higher than that of the flames with a mean particle size of 107μm, because burning of fine coal particles improves the heating rate of other larger pulverized coal particles. The value of the NO emission measured at the furnace outlet depends on the pulverized coal-particle size and decreases by 20% with an increase in the mean particle size from 46μm to 118μm. Two trends are observed in the NO emission with a mean particle size. For the unstaged combustion, a linear relationship exists between the NO emission and mean particle size, whereas the NO emission is constant at the air-staged combustion. The burnout performance increases with an increase in the level of coal fineness. The effectiveness of air staging on the NO reduction and burnout performance is significant in the flames with fine pulverized coal particles. The NO-reduction efficiency for flames with mean particle sizes of 52 and 73μm is almost twice that for flames with mean particle sizes of 102 and 107μm. For the burnout performance, the deteriorating effect of air staging is more profound at the flames with high level of coal fineness. The reduction rate in the burnout performance is 1.7% for flames with fine particles (52 and 73μm) and 0.7% for flames with coarse particles (102 and 107μm).

Analysis of Particle Contamination in Plasma Reactor by 2-Sized Particle Growth Model

Kim, Dong-Joo,Lyoo, Pil Jo,Kim, Kyo-Seon 한국화학공학회 2003 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.20 No.2

Rapid particle growth in the silane plasma reactor by coagulaton between 2-sized particles was analyzed for various process conditions. The particle coagulation rate was calculated considering the effects of particle charge distribution based on the Gaussian distribution function. The large size particles are charged more negatively than the small size particles. Some fractions of small size particles are in neutral state or charged positively, depending on the plasma conditions. The small size particle concentration increase at first and decreases later and reaches the steady state by the balance of generation rate and coagulation rate. The large size particles grow with discharge time by coagulation with small size particles and their size reaches the steady state, while the large size particle concentration increase with discharge time by faster generation rate and reaches the steady state by the balance of generation and disappearance rates. As the diameter of small size particles decreases, the diameter of large size particles increases more quickly by the faster coagulation with small size particles of higher concentration. As the residence time increases, the concentration and size of large size particles increase more quickly and the average charges per small size and large size particle decrease.

이차원 개별요소 수치해석을 통한 화강풍화토의 평균입자크기와 전단강도의 관계 규명

김선욱,임희대 한국지반공학회 2012 한국지반공학회논문집 Vol.28 No.12

We have carried out a series of numerical experiments to study the effect of average particle size on the mechanical properties of granite-derived weathered soils. A distinct-element method was adopted to study the changes in macro-scale mechanical properties with particle size and maximum-to-minimum particle size ratio. The numerical soil specimen with cohesion values of 0.25 MPa and internal friction angle of 29 degrees was prepared for reference. While keeping the porosity values constant, we varied particle size and size distribution to study how cohesion and internal friction angle changes. The experimental results show that the values of cohesion apparently decrease with increasing particle size. Changes in the values of internal friction angles are small, but there is a trend of increase in internal friction angle as the average particle size increases. This study demonstrates a possibility that the results of numerical experiments of this type may be used for rapid estimation of mechanical properties of granite-derived weathered soils. For example,when mechanical properties obtained through in situ tests and particle size data obtained through lab analysis are available for a site, it is expected that the mechanical properties of weathered granite soils with varying degrees of weathering (thus, varying particle size) may be estimated rapidly only with particle size data for that site.
