    The behavior of dust particles in a cyclone at an elevated temperature was analyzed to assess the feasibility of cyclone for hot gas treating processes. First, the gas velocity distribution in a cyclone and particle trajectories were calculated. Then, the adhesive force of the particles to the cyclone wall at an elevated temperature was measured. The results of these analyses showed that particle adhesion tends to occur in the lower part of the cyclone where the gas velocity is relatively low. This was confirmed by an experiment using a cyclone with heated gas and model dust. These results led to a few guidelines for designing hot cyclones without particle adhesion.

    The dispersion mechanism of a mixer-type disperser has been studied both experimentally and theoretically. The size distribution of dispersed aerosol particles was measured by a cascade impactor, and the size distribution of primary particles constituting the agglomerated particles on each stage of the impactor was also measured. These size distributions were analyzed to reveal the dispersion characteristics by introducing newly defined partial dispersion efficiency.
    It was found that the dispersibility of agglomerated particles depended both on the size of primary particles and the morphological structure of agglomerated particles. The agglomerates made up of the particles having a size near the mass median diameter were easily dispersed. It was, however, difficult to disperse the particles having their diameters in the tails of the size distribution of the feed powder. These results were well explained by the dispersion model where the dispersion force was mainly supplied by an acceleration of fluid motion. This fact suggests that further improvement is needed in the mixer-type disperser.

    The present paper deals with the filtration performace of granular bed filters during dust loading. It is verified that time changes in collection efficiency and dust load distributions in filters can be easily evaluated on the basis of the interception model. In this model, aerosol particles accumulate on a granule surface with a constant porosity, and interception by these particles is the predominant mechanism causing the increase in collection efficiency. The approximate expression representing the average collection efficeiency at a given time is presented, and it is compared favorably with the experiments. It is also shown that pressure loss buildup caused by retained particles can be predicted from the same model, in consideration of the Kozeny flow in a bed.

    Arching problems happened in cargo holds of a self-unloading ship which was newly constructed in 1991 in order to carry about 17, 000 tons of limestone. Variation of the flow properties of the cargo with time brought about an arch formation. Actually, results of shear tests for limestone under a time consolidation of 48 hours showed an increase of 120% in a flowability which was expressed by a ratio of the unconfined yield strength to the unit weight.
    The critical arch span was computed from the flowability. Also the span of real arches in cargo holds was estimated from measurements of the height from the hopper outlet to the top of real arches. These results were favourably compared.
    In order to eliminate arching problems of the cargo holds, an installation of a prism shaped insert having 0.774m wide by 1, 855m long was successfully tested on regular runs of the self-unloading ship.
