Laser diffraction particle size analyzers may measure the agglomerate size rather than that of the primary cohesive particles [26]. The wet mode analysis by EyeTech particle size and shape analyzer helps minimize van der Waals and electrostatic forces as it is carried out in the water environment [7]. Consequently, the agglomerates are broken ...
The formation of fractal-like agglomerates of primary particles may already occur during the synthesis of NPs, e. g. in gas phase processes [10], [11].The primary particles are bound within the agglomerate either only by van der Waals forces ('soft' agglomerate) or are sintered together with chemical bonds through sinter necks ('hard' agglomerate) [12].
The agglomerate and primary particle diameter, d p, specific surface area, SSA, and nanostructure vary between different CB grades and depend on the combustion conditions used for their synthesis. 15 During incomplete combustion of gaseous or liquid hydrocarbon fuels, CB nanoparticles are incepted and grow by surface reactions and coagulation ...

The agglomerate size determined by the fractal analysis combined with a modified Richardson-Zaki approach was around 160 μm, which was in good agreement with the result of a high-speed CCD camera. The decreased agglomerate sizes and improved fluidization quality were owing to the introduction of vibration energy [51].

particle geometry, its influence on the particle velocity and particle heating as well as the heat transfer within the particle volume can be calculated. Transcending the one-dimensional particle assumption is important, because the idealistic case of particles with spherical and homogeneous morphologies is relevant only for gas atomized powders
There have been a few DEM studies of impact breakage for nonspherical particles. For example, a DEM study of agglomerate impact breakage was carried out considering three shapes, i.e. spherical, cuboidal and cylindral (Liu et al., 2010).It was found that internal damage of particle is closely tied to the particle deceleration adjacent to the impact site.

The quantity U = N * u is the enthalpy of interaction. In an ensemble only N * particles having interaction partners are bound with the energy u.This definition is valid in all cases in which the energy of interaction is independent on the number of particles in the agglomerate and not connected to a directed force.

The terms "agglomerate" and "aggregate" are widely used by powder technologists to describe assemblages of particles that are found in dry powders and powders in liquid suspensions. Each term has a specific meaning but, unfortunately, they are frequently interchanged at will and this has resulted in universal confusion.
