A gas-solid separation fluidized bed, which belongs to dry separation and can save a lot of water resources, is an important method for coal quality improvement. The effect of regional blockage of the air distributor on the fluidization effect was investigated by varying the blockage area and fluidization gas velocity, and the influence law of blockage of an air distributor on bed stability was revealed. In this paper, the micro-differential pressure sensor is used as a testing tool to analyze the regional characteristics of the fluidized bed blockage hole. The results show that when the air distributor is plugged, the standard deviations of the pressure fluctuation are largest at a height of 100 mm, all reaching more than 2.0, and that the pressure fluctuation at the bottom is greater than that at the top. When the plugged area fraction increases from 1/8 to 1/2, the density fluctuation range at the bottom of the plugged area decreases from 0.2 to 0.04 g/cm, while the range of influence increases from 10 to 16 cm axially. With the increase of fluidization gas velocity, the mixing effect of particles is improved to an extent, and the range of the affected zone is gradually reduced.

Yeast formulations such as dry yeast are essential for supplying microbial starters to the alcoholic beverage industry. In Korea, the expensive freeze-drying method is used to manufacture brewer's dry yeast, and therefore an economical process such as fluidized bed drying is needed. In the dry yeast manufacturing process, the medium and drying conditions are key factors that determine its quality and manufacturing cost.

Design and Process Considerations for Preparation of Modified Release Ivermectin and Praziquantel Tablets by Wet Granulation.

AAPS PharmSciTech

Dosage forms containing Ivermectin (IVER) and Praziquantel (PRAZ) are important combination drug products in animal health. Understanding the relationship between products with differing in vitro release characteristics and bioequivalence could facilitate generics. The goal of this study was to create granulations for each active ingredient, with similar release mechanisms, but substantially different in vitro release rates, and then compressing these granulations into tablets with differing release rates.

Quantifying crystallinity of amlodipine maleate in amorphous solid dispersions produced by fluidized bed granulation using PAT tools.

Eur J Pharm Sci

One of the main concerns with formulations containing amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) is their physical stability. Stability can be compromised if a formulation contains any residual crystallinity of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that could act as seeds for further crystallisation. This study presents four methods for crystalline amlodipine maleate quantification in ASD, which were developed using one Raman and three NIR process analysers.

Groundwater is widely threatened by hazardous manganese and ammonia. In present study, a novel gravity-driven fixed-bed ceramic membrane filtration (GDFBCM) with critical PAC-MnOx-ceramsite filters was built to address these issues. Static ceramsite filters in GDCM significantly increased membrane flux from 11 L/m·h to 18 L/m·h on the 50th day of filtration.

Proper waste management and sustainable energy production are crucial for human development. For this purpose, this study evaluates the impact of blending percentage on energy recovery potential and environmental benefits of co-combustion of wastewater sludge and Brazilian low-rank coal. The sludge and coal were characterised in terms of their potential as fuel and co-combustion tests were carried out in a pilot-scale bubbling fluidised bed focused on the influence of the percentage of sludge mixture on the behaviour of co-combustion with coal in terms of flue gas composition and fluidised bed temperature stability.
