The performance of a modified V-shaped solids mixer, i.e., uneven leg or offset angle, has been reassessed by using a binary cohesive mixture, made up of 1% sodium salicylate and 99% microcry stalline cellulose, as the mixing system. The performance of the mixer was defined in terms of relative standard deviation from the measured mean. The results generated from the present study were compared with the previously published data generated by using a free-flow mixing system. It appears in the present study that the free-flowing, segregating materials may be used as a mixing model to predict the trend of the performance of a modified V-shaped blender for the non-free-flowing, cohesive materials. However, in the equilibrium state, the non-free-flowing, cohesive mixture has much better quality of the mix than that of the free-flowing, segregating system in terms of the scale and intensity of segregation.

Up to now, minimizing segregation of free-flowing, microscale metal powder mixtures driven by different mass density is an open challenge. In this work, effects of particle size variation on homogeneity of Al-Cu mixtures, with a density ratio of 3.3, are examined.

Hourly trace element measurements were performed in an urban street canyon and next to an interurban freeway in Switzerland during more than one month each, deploying a rotating drum impactor (RDI) and subsequent sample analysis by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (SR-XRF). Antimony and other brake wear associated elements were detected in three particle size ranges (2.5-10, 1-2.

Segregation phenomena are of importance in nearly all processes involving dry granular and powder mixtures. The extent of segregation directly influences the eventual rejection of a considerable percentage of the final product in the majority of pharmaceutical processes; among these are those mixtures destined for powder compression processing for the production of tablets. Although the parameters influencing segregation are relatively well-known qualitatively, there are, so far, no widely accepted quantitative prediction tools that permit process improvement and optimization of production as a function of the mixture's composition and the particulars of individual processes (e.

Stable segregation patterns are shown to form in V-blenders over a wide range of vessel capacities, fill levels, and rotation rates. Slight changes in either rotation rate or fill level induce changes in pattern formation. Trajectory segregation in two regions of the flow, accumulating over many flow periods, drives segregation pattern formation.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was used to study the mixing process of binary mixtures of free flowing sugar beads in a Turbula mixer. In order to make particles MRI-sensitive, some reference beads were doped with an organic oil. Doped and undoped particles were mixed and MRI was used to non-destructively image the particle bed for a given number of mixer rotations (NR), bead diameter ratio (R=d(ref)/d(i)) and rotation speed (V).
