| Abstract Scope |
Segregation and material flow are common problems in smelter carbon plants. These problems significantly impact operations and quality. An understanding of the (practical) science of material flow, especially in/out of silos, bins, and hoppers will be described, along with critical flow properties. Specific examples of flow problems will be covered, along with approach(es) to ensure proper design and retrofit processes to eliminate various flow problems. |
