Development of a gas-promoted oil agglomeration process. [Quarterly] technical progress report, September 1, 1993--November 30, 1993
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. Previous research showed that having a gas present in an agitated system used for the agglomeration of an aqueous suspension of coal particles with oil would reduce greatly the required mixing shear rate and power input. To take advantage of this discovery, the present research project was initiated. The project will involve building and testing two model mixing systems which differ in scale but are representative of standard industrial mixing systems used for mixing solid particles, liquid, and gas. These systems will be tested by conducting oil agglomeration tests under various conditions and measuring agitator torque and power as well as agglomeration performance. Special attention will be given to the effects produced by having gas present in the system.
