RESUMO

The coating of particles in spouted has shown sufficiently promising, in view of its potential of applications in several products such as tablets, cosmetics, seeds, fertilizers. However, the works reported in literature had been predominantly based on visual observations, through columns constructed with transparent material, operated the pressure and ambient temperature. Furthermore, the visual recognition of flow regimes is not possible in industrial scale or with high pressures. Soon, the aim of this work was to identify modifications accured during the coating of particle in spouted bed, the comparison of the visual behavior with the power spectrum gotten from the acquisition of data of pressure drop in real time, using technique FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). For this study had been used particles of ABS and polystyrene, with average diameter of 3,03 mm and 3.81 mm, respectively, and aqueous polymeric suspension the base of Eudragitâ. The coating was carried through in a conical-cylindrical spouted bed, confectioned in acrylic with the following dimensions: H = 70 cm, Dc = 14,3 cm, Di = 4 cm and θ = 60°, the operational conditions had been fixed for each particle based in preliminary assays. The fluctuations of the drop pressure had been acquired using software LabView 7.1, to a rate of sampling of 400 Hz. The results had allowed to identify during the coating the reduction in the circulation rate of particle, zones deceased and until complete collapse of the spouted bed, as much for fluid-dynamics variations visually observed in the spouted bed, how much for spectral alteration during the coating experiments. In the future this identification can be useful development a control process tool
