Particle suspension in (air-agitated) pachuca tanks

Abstract: Particle suspension is an important parameter in the design of an energy-efficient Pachuca tank. Unfortunately, very little attention has been focused on the suspension behavior of air-agitated Pachucas. In the present investigation, therefore, extensive experiments have been carried out in three laboratory-scale Pachuca tanks to examine the effect of design and operating parameters, as well as scale-up, on particle suspension. A mathematical model that combines the Bernoulli's equation and the theory of trans… Show more

“…Moreover, conical bottom vessels have the advantage of absence of stagnation point associated with sharp corners [11] and assure complete drainage of the solution and suspended matters. Of these tanks is the Pachucca tank that is widely used in hydrometallurgical processes [12,13].…”

“…[1,2] studies on hysteresis have been limited to bubble columns With the help of extensive experiments and mathematical only, which substantially differ from Pachuca tanks both in modeling. Roy et al [1] have clarified the effect of the design terms of dimensions and mode of operation. [1] and operating parameters of Pachuca tanks on the minimum…”
