Abstract:The interaction of suspended particles with ultrasonic waves can lead to changes in the sonic velocity and also to extinction of the waves. An evaluation of the frequency dependence of ultrasonic extinction offers the most appropriate means of determining the concentration and size distribution of particles suspended in a fluid. With an experimental apparatus covering the frequency range from 1.7 to 81 MHz, particles ranging from about 20 to 1000 μm in diameter can be analysed. The measurements can be conducte… Show more

We propose to study the behavior of diluated suspensions of clay and non colloidal particles by a combination of experiments. We plan to study these diluate particulate systems by changing the masse fraction of clay. We have developed a technique based on the ultrasound, by measuring ultrasonic attenuation waves in clay slurries. This technique makes it possible to control in real time the presence of the clay grains whose dimension is about 10 micron, using an interface conceived under Labview program. The slurries with different weight of clay were controlled. The detection of weak amount of clay's grains and colloid were provided by the transducer 30Mhz. High sensitivity is obtained by analyzing the attenuation measurements founded from multiple paths through the slurry. The experimental results obtained show that the attenuation of waves due to particles varies linearly with mass fraction and the frequency of transducers. Therefore, such measures of the attenuation at a given frequency give the concentration of clay in the suspension. These frequency charts will be used for the quality control of the dam's water.

“…In recent years ultrasonic spectroscopy has emerged as a technique that could characterize such particle systems in on-line applications. A great deal has already been written about the use of ultrasound to determine the PSD in dilute slurries and suspensions [2,3]. The basic concept is to measure the frequency-dependent attenuation or velocity of the ultrasound as it passes through the sample.…”
The characterization of industrial slurries and emulsions has traditionally relied upon off-line measurements of particle size and shape. Recent advances in sensor technology have made it possible to implement in-line particle characterization on a number of industrial processes, including comminution, crystallization, and emulsification. This paper presents several recent applications of two in-line instruments developed in our laboratory: an ultrasonic instrument used to monitor particle size in slurries during milling operations and to determine droplet sizes in emulsions, and a new in-line video camera for observing the morphology of crystals produced in a commercial process.
