New mixing guidelines for dense suspensions revealed

Wait 5 sec.

Solid–liquid mixing is a crucial step for many industrial processes ranging from battery electrode manufacturing to pharmaceutical formulations. These processes often require uniform suspension of particles to ensure consistent product quality. For decades, engineers have always relied on Zwietering's correlation, a classic engineering model effective in estimating the just-suspended speed (NJS), which is the minimum impeller rotation speed that prevents particles from settling down.
