Abstract. Stirred media mills are invoked as high energy utilization equipment to prepare superfine particles with a narrow particle size distribution. In this study, the effects of the stirrer tip speed and the grinding media diameter on the particle size distribution of lotus leaf powder (LLP) were investigated. The stress intensity and stress number, which were determined by the stirrer tip speed and grinding media diameter, were applied to estimate the wet grinding kinetics of LLP. The stress conditions with the minimum specific energy consumption were a grinding media diameter of 1.4 mm and stirrer tip speed of 8.4 m s-1. Additionally, FT-IR measurements of the samples confirmed that the chemical structures of the active ingredients were not damaged with reduction in particle size, which indicated the mildness of the grinding process.HighlightsA stirred media mill was initially applied for preparing superfine lotus leaf powder.The stress conditions with the minimum specific energy consumption were determined.The active ingredients were not denatured during the grinding process. Keywords: Grinding kinetics, Lotus leaf, Stirred media mill, Stress intensity.

The desulfurization of high-sulfur diasporic bauxite (from China) with flotation process and ethyl thio carbamate as collector was studied, and the effects of flotation time, pulp density, pH value and particle size of ores were examined. The experimental results indicate that the sulfur in bauxite was successfully decreased through flotation. The sulfur content of bauxite was lowed to 0.66% under the condition of pH value 4, the dose of flotation agent ethyl thio carbamate 0.5kg/t, frother 20g/t, flotation time 15 minutes, pulp density 10%, the particle size of ores ≦0.09 mm, and the reclamation of Al2O3is 90.16% as well. The flotation kinetics of flotation desulfurization was also studied.

AbstractIn order to understand the pre-reduction behaviour of fine hematite particles in the HIsarna process, change of morphology, phase and crystallography during the reduction were investigated in the high temperature drop tube furnace. Polycrystalline magnetite shell formed within 200 ms during the reduction. The grain size of the magnetite is in the order of magnitude of 10 µm. Lath magnetite was observed in the partly reduced samples. The grain boundary of magnetite was reduced to molten FeO firstly, and then the particle turned to be a droplet. The Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov model is proposed to describe the kinetics of the reduction process. Both bulk and surface nucleation occurred during the reduction, which leads to the effect of size on the reduction rate in the nucleation and growth process. As a result, the reduction rate constant of hematite particles increases with the increasing particle size until 85 µm. It then decreases with a reciprocal relationship of the particle size above 85 µm.

Detailing the kinetics of particle formation for pharmaceutically relevant solutions is challenging, especially when considering the combination of formulations, containers, and timescales of clinical importance. This paper describes a method for using commercial software Automate with a stream-selector valve capable of sampling container solutions from within an environmental chamber. The tool was built to monitor changes in particle size distributions via instrumental particle counters but can be adapted to other solution-based sensors. The tool and methodology were demonstrated to be highly effective for measuring dynamic changes in emulsion globule distributions as a function of storage and mixing conditions important for parenteral nutrition. Higher levels of agitation induced the fastest growth of large globules (≥5 μm) while the gentler conditions actually showed a decrease in the number of these large globules. The same methodology recorded calcium phosphate precipitation kinetics as a function of [Ca2+] and pH. This automated system is readily adaptable to a wide range of pharmaceutically relevant systems where the particle size is expected to vary with time. This instrumentation can dramatically reduce the time and resources needed to probe complex formulation issues while providing new insights for monitoring the kinetics as a function of key variables.
