## Communicated by G. F. Roach Continuous sedimentation of solid particles in a liquid takes place in a clarifier-thickener unit, which has one feed inlet and two outlets. The process is vital in a waste water treatment plant, where the particles consist of several biological components. The conce

## Abstract Fluidization of binary mixtures of particles belonging to group B of the Geldart classification of powders was studied. Beds tested were prepared by mixing in different proportions particles with almost equal density (โ2,500 kg/m^3^) and dissimilar size (125 ฮผm silica sand and 500 ฮผm gl
Because of the interactions among suspension particles, the settling velocity of particles in suspensions is slower than the terminal velocity of a single particle of the same size. The most accurate empirical expression relating the settling velocity to the suspension porosity is represented by V.
