Conclusions
-
1.
A study was made of the barrel-rotation process for the preparation of spherical particles, 150–700 μ in size, of refractory compounds.
-
2.
It was shown that, for effective granulation by this technique, it is necessary to use a finely-divided powder with 50% of its particles 2–3 μ in size and a moisture content of not more than 0.3%,
-
3.
The granule density was measured as a function of granulation time. The best consolidation of the granules was found to be attained after 3 h.
