A new mathematical model for nucleation of spherical agglomerates by the immersion mechanism

Initial wetting of crystals by binder droplets is a key rate process in spherical agglomeration, however there are no models to predict the kinetics and formation of agglomerate nuclei. Two new mathematical models are introduced for agglomerate nucleation by an immersion mechanism; immersion rate li...
