Shale samples were crushed in different particle size categories (40 mesh, 60 mesh, 80 mesh, and 100 mesh, respectively), and their pore structures were examined by N 2 …
This effect was clear in the mean pore size determination as clarified in Fig. 8 d. The mean pore size was slightly improving from 26.3 nm to 31.8 nm by increasing the porosity from M−0 to M−4. The improved mean pore size was attributed to …
Relationship between Particle Size Distribution and Porosity in Dump Leaching by Shuo Zhang B.Sc, The University of Waterloo, 2015 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of
to a particle size of 1.6mm. Below a particle size of 1.6mm we observed a noticeable increase in porosity by as much as a factor of 2 for the lower porosity samples. For samples H-1 and B-2, it appears that porosity increases linearly from a particle size of 5.7mm to 0.7mm; this increase is 34% for sample H-1 and 87% for sample B-2.
The prediction exactness of coalbed methane (CBM) content and productivity correlates closely with the gas adsorption rules of coal, but there is a noticeable difference in the gas adsorption rules between deformed and undeformed coal. One of the main factors affecting the gas adsorption capacity of coal is pore structure, which is affected by the particle size, and …
The pore size ranges from 1.7 to 15 nm, and the pores are mainly tiny. In addition, the low-temperature nitrogen adsorption test determines the internal and external surface areas of the soil particles lattice, which cannot reflect the relationship between the particle size of the red clay and the SSA.
The correlation between the characteristics of sand particle morphology and internal pore structure and particle size and mineral composition is revealed by choosing coral sand, natural quartz sand, artificial broken quartz sand and glass balls with different particle sizes and mineral composition to conduct experimental analysis and research ...
tiguous pore space within the body of soil. In general, the pore space has fluid pathways that are tortuous, variably constricted, and usually highly connected. Figure 1 is an example of a two-dimensional cross section of soil pore space. The pore space is often considered in terms of individual pores--an artificial concept that

As a complement to pore size, we also present corresponding pore-shape information using a stochastic ray-tracing algorithm that shoots random rays through the accessible volume of the Voronoi cell until they hit the wall of …
Applications can be divided into three broad categories: (1) information gained using volume and mass measurements only—material volume and density, interstitial void volume, percent porosity and percent porosity filled; (2) information obtained from Washburn's Equation—pore volume distribution by pore size, pore area and number of pores ...
Particle size distribution (PSD) is an essential property of cement. The only standard method to measure the PSD of cement, namely ASTM C115 is limited in scope; this standard describes a method ...
where B p0 is the crushing potential corresponding to the initial particle size. To further understand this expression, we analyzed ring-shear data from Zhang and McSaveney on air-dried alluvial sand (Fig. 2) finding that (1) B p decreases as the effective normal stress and shear displacement increase, and (2) the shear velocity has little effect on B p (this is …
In this study, single-particle crushing tests were carried out on rockfill materials with nominal particle diameters of 2.5 mm, 5 mm and 10 mm to investigate the particle size effect on the single-particle strength and the relationship between the …
Pores can have a regular or, more commonly, an irregular shape. The most similar geometric form is used to represent pore shape: cylinders (in some oxides like alumina and magnesia), slits (in activated carbons and clays) and voids between connected solid spheres (in silica and many solids obtained from gels), as shown in Fig. 1.Cylinders (size=diameter) …
Laboratory-scale analysis of natural rocks provides petrophysical properties such as density, porosity, pore diameter/pore-throat diameter distribution, and fluid accessibility, in addition to the size and shape of …
Whilst the relationship between pore characteristics and porosity and permeability are well examined, further investigation into the inuence of grain characteristics on porosity and
The relationship of particle size, reaction and sticking behavior of iron ore fines toward efficient fluidized bed hydrogen reduction were systematically investigated at 600–800 °C in a laboratory fluidized bed. ... Finally, granulated iron ore was obtained by crushing and sieving the sintered compacts. If no otherwise specified, the ...

A good match between theoretical and experimental particle size distribution curves was only possible for data points having e values less than 0·26; this implies that e = 0·26 represents an (approximate) limit below which the amount of crushing becomes significant enough for the fractal dimensions and other parameters to be held constant.
In this study, we examined the effect of the sample particle size on GA, MIP, and helium pycnometry (HeP) for shales. For comparison, similar assessments were made for natural porous zeolite with interconnected micro-, …
In this study, single-particle crushing tests were carried out on rockfill materials with nominal particle diameters of 2.5 mm, 5 mm and 10 mm to investigate the particle size effect on the single-particle strength and the relationship between the characteristic stress …
Inorganic pore structures are critical to understand the oil and gas transport and storage properties of unconventional reservoirs. However, it can be difficult to quantitatively and qualitatively interpret the relationship between the inorganic pore structure and particle arrangement in terms of particle size and the brittle and clay mineral composition of shale. In …
The relationship between critical pore radius and permeability for unconsolidated media and sandstone was well described as k = 0.012ϕ tra r cr 2. Our results reveal that the critical pore size plays an essential role in the permeability of porous media, whether the pores consist of the interspace between grains or the aggregation of bubbles.
Porous silica ceramics are widely used as liquid transporters due to their desirable heat resistance, mechanical properties and chemical stability. In this work, we simulated the liquid absorbency and liquid permeation of samples with different pore sizes (such as 10, 20 and 40 μm), and concluded that a large pore size is conducive to the liquid absorbency. …
The particle crushing strength decreases with the increase of porosity and fractal dimension of pore distribution. Further discussion confirmed that the particle crushing strength …
It is the implications to pore size and, therefore, to particle retentions that suit the use of the bubble-point test for this purpose. The bubble-point equation, based on the capillary rise equation, involves a reciprocal relationship between its value and the size of the "largest pore" diameter. It is the pore diameter that is being sought.
2.1 Test material and apparatus. The carbonate sands for testing are retrieved from an island in the South China Sea, which show characteristics distinctly different from silica sands as reported in the literature [31,32,33].Three uniform particle sizes, i.e., 0.5 mm, 2.5 mm, and 5 mm, are considered in this study for an examination of the influence of particle size on …

To explore the optimum particle size range for low-pressure gas adsorption expts. of shales, a sample of the Longmaxi shale from the Sichuan Basin, China, was crushed into various particle sizes between 4 and 0.058 mm. Low-pressure CO2 and N2 adsorption expts. were then performed on these crushed samples, and the pore vol., surface area, and ...
