CFD Simulation of Electrostatic Charging in Gas-Solid Fluidized Beds: Model Development Through Fundamental Charge Transfer Experiments

The triboelectrification of particles by contact or frictional charging is known to be an operational challenge in the polyolefin industry. Particularly in polyethylene production, gas-solid fluidized bed reactors are known to be susceptible to electrostatic charging due to the rigorous mixing of po...
