Attrition of materials in fluidized bed
In order to resemble ball milling process which shows better performance in moving heavy metal in incinerator bottom ash (IBA), two sizes of glass beads (0.212-0.6 mm and 0.6-1.0 mm) are utilized to co-fluidize with incinerator bottom ash (IBA) in lab scale fluidized bed at constant gas velocity (1....
