Pk. Doolin et al., LABORATORY TESTING PROCEDURE FOR EVALUATION OF MOVING-BED CATALYST ATTRITION, Journal of testing and evaluation, 21(6), 1993, pp. 481-487
A laboratory scale attrition test has been designed to simulate partic
le-particle and particle-wall attrition forces which are similar to th
ose experienced in commercial moving bed units. The modified drum test
uses two concentric rotating drums to induce particle breakage. Using
this test, the distribution of particle shapes and sizes produced by
catalyst attrition in a moving bed unit have been successfully duplica
ted.
