Divergent Impact Charging of Polymer Particles

Simon Jantač, Holger Grosshans

When a particle contacts a surface of another material, it is commonly believed that the particle acquires an impact charge that scales inversely with its pre-impact charge and who…

Unmasking hidden ignition sources: A new approach to finding extreme charge peaks in powder processing

Holger Grosshans, Wenchao Xu, Simon Jantač +1

Powders acquire a high electrostatic charge during transport and processing. Consequently, in the aftermath of dust explosions, electrostatic discharge is often suspected to be the…

Spatially resolved measurement of the electrostatic charge of turbulent powder flows

Wenchao Xu, Simon Jantač, Tatsushi Matsuyama +1

This article reports on measurements of the electrostatic charge of particles in a turbulent duct flow. In contrast to previous charge measurements, which do not apply to turbulent…

Suppression and Control of Bipolar Powder Charging by Turbulence

Simon Jantač, Holger Grosshans

Current models predict particles of the same material but different sizes to charge bipolar upon contacts; the resulting charge peaks endanger process safety. However, we found wal…

Recent progress in CFD modeling of powder flow charging during pneumatic conveying

Holger Grosshans, Simon Jantač

Thus far, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations fail to predict the electrostatic charging of particle-gas flows reliably. The lack of a predictive tool leads to powder op…
