    A continuous reactor was developed for industrial production of monodispersed alumina particles from the metal alkoxide. Taylor vortex flow was used for solution mixing. Individual Taylor vortices served as batch reaction vessels. Monodispersed spherical alumina particles were prepared by the hydrolysis of aluminum alkoxide in the mixture of octanol and acetonitrile. Monodispersed alumina particles were continuously produced for 5h by the reactor. The particle size and distribution were comparable to those obtained by a batch process. The effects of Taylor number (Ta) and residense time on the particle size, particle size distribution, yield, and particle number density of monodispersed alumina particles were investigated. Monodispersed alumina particles were obtained at Ta number from 50 to 150.

    Impact electrification between fine particles and polymer film has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally. A powder, fly ash of 12μm in mass median diameter, was dispersed and accelerated in airflow, and then the particles were impacted on a target whose frontal surface was covered with a polymer film and the rear side was a metal plate. The films used were in the range of 25-250μm in thickness. The rear metal plate was grounded and the electric currents caused by impact electrification were measured by an electrometer. Two types of currents were detected, namely induced current and conduction current. The induced current was due to the charge accumulating on the film, while the conduction current was due to the dielectric breakdown arising from the particle impact. Using a film with small artificial holes, conduction current was detected. This fact shows that insulating material can be utilized as an effective charging wall as long as the charge accumulation in the material is well suppressed.

    Attrition characteristics of granules were evaluated by using a vibrating sieve tester. The attrition fraction and the rate constant of attrition were measured under various vibrating conditions. An empirical equation of the attrition fraction was presented as functions of the granule strength and the energy consumption of vibration. In order to estimate the amount of attrition for relatively soft granulated materials during mixing operation, we performed mixing tests with an actual rotary-vessel-type mixer and measured the relationship between the attrition fraction and the mixing time. Based on the energy consumption of the mixer, a correlation equation of attrition fraction for the mixer was obtained by considering several experimental correction factors.

    Morphology of 5-micron fly ash particles accumulated on granules (5-mm glass beads) was observed and photographed by a digital microscope, and the reentrainment of dust particles was qualitatively discussed in the present paper. When the filtration velocity was low, the collision of dust particles was a main cause of reentrainment. As the filtration velocity increases, the drag force and the change in the shape of deposited particles on the granules are the major causes.
