Gm. Ostrovskii et I. Brisovskii, Effect of spread of granular-bed porosity on the efficiency of interphase exchange processes, THEOR F CH, 33(3), 1999, pp. 221-225
The interphase exchange efficiency was shown to be significantly affected b
y granular-bed inhomogeneity. This follows from analysis of porosity spread
in static granular beds and experimental data on ion exchange for static a
nd oscillating granular beds. The feasibility for eliminating porosity spre
ad and significantly (to 70%) raising the process efficiency is demonstrate
