Relationship between hydrodynamics and gibbsite precipitation
Project Overview
Project Number
M0305
Total Grant Value
$270,000
Program Area
Project Theme
Mineral Systems
Project Period
1998 - 1999
Summary
Techniques developed in an earlier AMIRA-supported program for investigating hydrodynamics in gibbsite precipitation were applied in this project, to understand mechanics of precipitation in laminar and turbulent flow regimes.
Key findings relate to size of the agglomeration kernel and the effects of shear rate.
Project coordinated by the Australian Mineral Industries Research Association (AMIRA) Project P521.
Keywords: crystallization, flow regime, precipitation
