The suspension was first mixed with high molecular weight synthetic polymers by stirring for approximately 50 seconds and then agitated for 20 minutes. The process was optimised for a number of operating conditions including polymer type and dosing regimen, rotation speed, wall-plate gap distance, residence time and suspension filling method. The results of the investigation show that optimising a number of process variables that influence floc formation and growth, along with specific apparatus construction and geometry, help to maintain the suspension in a metastable state that is crucial for the formation of pellet-like compact agglomerates with better dewaterability and uniform aggregate size. A maximum dry solids content of 28.3\% after gravity dewatering through a 0.5 mm sieve was recorded during the investigation, with a maximum particle removal efficiency of 97.5\%.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AyGlaserLogschetal., author = {Ay, Peter and Glaser, Claudia and Logsch, Florian and Narra, Satyanarayana and Gemende, Bernhard and Gerbeth, Anja and Riedel, Tobias and Pausch, Nicole and Leiker, Matthias and B{\"a}de, Bianka and Heiduschke, Rene}, title = {Micro-structured Iron (III) hydroxide agglomerates with high porosity as adsorbents}, series = {Proceedings of the XXVIII International Mineral Processing Congress (IMPC 2016), September 11-15, 2016, Qu{\´e}bec City, Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the XXVIII International Mineral Processing Congress (IMPC 2016), September 11-15, 2016, Qu{\´e}bec City, Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum}, isbn = {978-1-926872-29-2}, pages = {Paper 263}, abstract = {This study focusses on the production of micro-structured agglomerates with high porosity from iron (III)-hydroxide-containing materials as adsorbent. A fractal structure of the agglomerates was created through a two-stage agglomeration process. Developing porous structures was necessary to increase the adsorption capacity. Various materials were used for the agglomeration experiments: i) filter cake (dry matter content 23 to 27 wt.-\%); ii) FerroSorp®DGμ, a product which is already being used commercially for various applications in water cleaning. These materials in the pristine state have different characteristics such as dry matter content and particle size distribution. The desired optimised agglomerates can be achieved with the help of additives or binders, respectively. Additionally, the agglomeration process parameters play a vital role. In order to produce agglomerates with high porosity, the process was carried out in two steps. Firstly, FerroSorp®DGμ (d90 < 30 µm) was agglomerated jointly with the aforementioned filter cake in an Eirich intensive mixer (particle size range 125 µm < d90 < 500 µm). The second agglomeration step post drying was carried out in a pelletisation disc or in an Eirich intensive mixer with the addition of polymeric binders (up to particle sizes ranging from 2 to 4 mm). Agglomerates were characterised both in short and long term loading tests using phosphate as model ion. Contact times were less than 10 min, similar to practical application in percolation columns, or more than 7 days, respectively. The results show that the agglomerates produced in the two-stage pelletisation process have more advantageous properties like better accessibility of the active sites obtained by specificly influencing the particle size distribution during the two-stage pelletisation process.}, language = {en} } @incollection{StockBensHelbachetal., author = {Stock, Oliver and Bens, Oliver and Helbach, Christoph and Narra, Satyanarayana and Downes, Nigel K. and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F. and Raab, Thomas}, title = {Bodenphysikalische, wachstumskundliche und rechtliche Aspekte der Melioration stark toniger Kippsubstrate mit REA-Gips}, series = {Neue Ans{\"a}tze in der land- und forstwirtschaftlichen Rekultivierung}, booktitle = {Neue Ans{\"a}tze in der land- und forstwirtschaftlichen Rekultivierung}, editor = {H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F. and Schneider, Bernd Uwe}, publisher = {BTU}, address = {Cottbus}, isbn = {978-3-937728-06-3}, pages = {45 -- 77}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Narra, author = {Narra, Satyanarayana}, title = {Structural amelioration of clay-sand substrate using FGD Gypsum as a substitute for Lime in recultivation of virgin soil at post-mining field Nochten (Lusatia) under soil physical and plant growth aspects}, publisher = {BTU}, address = {Cottbus}, isbn = {3-937728-11-2}, pages = {XVII, 143}, language = {en} }
