The bubble number and size distributions are consistent with those in literature for Geldart A, B and D particle fluidized beds.

Due to the bubble rupture neglected in the Darton bubble growth model, a new correlation based Darton bubble growth model has been extended, which has approximately 15% accuracy region. Additionally, the bubble rising velocity was studied. The extended Davidson correlation, which has approximately 15% accuracy region, is a good method to predict the bubble rising velocity. Thus, the separation efficiency of gas–solid fluidized bed separation could be improved for Geldart A<sup>-</sup> particle.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7232,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Powder Technology","volume":"35 10","pages":"Article 104637"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142150708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After heat treatment, the Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> shells decompose into MgO shells, and Ni@MgO core–shell structure is therefore formed. The as-prepared Ni and Ni@MgO core–shell ultrafine particles are further made into pastes, printed on ceramic substrate and sintered into conductive films. In comparison with pure Ni particles, enhanced performances of anti-oxidation and thermal shrinkage resistance are achieved for Ni@MgO core–shell particles. The sintered films made by pure Ni particles exhibits a severe shrinkage with a large area of disconnected regions whereas the Ni@MgO core–shell films show much better film integrality.

Results reveal that in contrast to form factor and specific surface area, particle porosity, particle density, aspect ratio, angularity index, fractal dimension and feature roughness decrease with decreasing particle size. Limestone filler exhibits more regular shape, less significant angularity and richer surface texture than basalt filler.
