Determination of the solid separation and residence time distributions in an industrial hydrocyclone using radioisotope tracer experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, radioisotope tracer experiments conducted in a hydrocyclone processing copper ore are presented, where different ore grain sizes ware traced using a radioactive isotope 64 Cu and the experimental residence time distribution (RTD) functions have been obtained.

Performance evaluation and hydraulic characteristics of an innovative controlled double circle anaerobic reactor for treating traditional Chinese medicine wastewater

TL;DR: An innovative controlled double circle (CDC) anaerobic reactor modified from the IC reactor was proposed, and the start-up process and performance of treating the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wastewater using both IC reactor and CDC reactor were compared as mentioned in this paper.

Historical development of soil-water physics and solute transport in porous media

TL;DR: The concept of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, a function of water content, was introduced by Buckingham in 1907 as mentioned in this paper to quantify the flow of water in unsaturated media and has become the accepted Buckingham-Darcy law.

Performance evaluation of a newly developed flow diverted bed system for stream restoration

TL;DR: In this article, a flow diverted bed (FDB) system was developed to improve the stream water quality, where the flow from the upper layer (aerobic) in the first wetland could be redirected to the lower layer (anaerobic) by the flow diverter, and vice versa.

The Definition and Measurement of Some Characteristics of Mixtures

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the important features of such mixtures can be expressed by two statistically defined quantities, the scale and the intensity of segregation, and methods of measuring these are suggested.
