Zwietering's Equation for the Suspension of Porous Particles and the Use of Curved Blade Impellers

The minimum speed for just-suspension, Njs, of porous palm shell-activated carbon (PSAC) particles has been determined in a 15 cm diameter cylindrical tank using a 6-curved blade (6CB) impeller, compared to a 6-blade downpumping mixed-flow (6MFD) impeller and a Rushton turbine (6DT). The particles s...
