Description
Summary:Gas–solid separation fluidized bed is an efficient and clean coal separation technology with a good separation effect for coal particles. However, there is a lack of systematic research on the complex motion behavior of the feeding particles in gas–solid separation fluidized beds. In this study, the separation kinetics of non-spherical single feeding particles in the fluidized bed are examined. The particle sphericity coefficient Φ is introduced to characterize the morphology of irregular coal particles, and the drag coefficient for the feeding particles is modified to verify the suitability of the non-spherical particle drag model for gas–solid fluidized bed separation. After optimization and correction, a <i>ρ<sub>S.sus</sub></i> (the bed density when single feeding particles are suspended in the gas–solid separation fluidized bed) prediction model is obtained. When the prediction accuracy of the <i>ρ<sub>S.sus</sub></i> prediction model is 90%, the confidence degree is 85.72%. This <i>ρ<sub>S.sus</sub></i> of the single non-spherical feeding particle prediction model highlights a direction for improving the separation effect, provides a theoretical basis for the industrialization of gas–solid fluidized bed, and promotes the process of dry fluidized separation.
