Development of a gas-promoted oil agglomeration process. Technical progress report, October 1, 1994--December 31, 1994
The overall purpose of this research project is to carry out the preliminary laboratory-scale development of a gas-promoted, oil agglomeration process for cleaning coal using model mixing systems. Research conducted during the preceding year showed the need for a semi-empirical mathematical model for representing and analyzing the kinetics of oil agglomeration of coal particles suspended in water. Such a model would provide the means for comparing and possibly correlating the effects of particle concentration and other parameters on the rate of agglomeration. Various models are being considered. One of the models is described below, and the results of fitting the model to experimental data are presented. These experiments were made not only to test the model, but also to compare the effects of particle concentration and the amount of air present on the rate of agglomeration.
