Computer simulation of agglomeration by a two-dimensional random addition model — agglomeration kinetics and micromeritic properties of agglomerate accompanied by compaction process

Abstract In order to elucidate the mechanism of the compaction process of wet spherical agglomeration, computer simulation of agglomeration with compaction was carried out using a random addition model. The agglomeration process simulated by this model was described by a non-random coalescence agglome- ration and the compaction process of agglomerate was represented by the modified Kawakita's equation.
