Models of the filtration phenomenon describe the mass balance in bed filtration in terms of particle removal mechanisms, and allow for the determination of global particle removal efficiencies. These models are defined in ...

The removal of submicron particles from gaseous streams is becoming an increasingly important operation, both in industrial (nanotechnology) as well as in occupational (inhalation of particula te matter) applications. Among ...

This work had for objective to study the influence of the variables liquid flow, throat length, number of orifices and gas velocity in the throat in the collection efficiency of a Venturi scrubber. As particulate matter ...

The size of the mineral particles present in the pulp is a relevant variable in the sequence of events resulting in flotation and affects significantly the process performance. The kinetic behavior of coarse particles is ...

It has been shown that the presence of electrostatic charges in particles affects significantly the performance of a filter, both increasing collection efficiency and reducing pressure drop. The aim of the present work is ...

The CMS apparatus was identified, a few years before the start of the LHC operation at CERN, to feature properties well suited to particle-flow (PF) reconstruction: a highly-segmented tracker, a fine-grained electromagnetic ...
