Can the lime silo be conveyed by pneumatic means? What problems could there be? What should be the ratio of gas volume to solid volume in the lime silo conveying system?

Lime is transported by wind, and the air used for transportation can easily carry residual lime, leading to contamination of the pipelines and fans. The use of filters before and after the fans can increase operational time, but prolonged operation is not possible; moreover, the filter elements tend to get clogged and cannot be cleaned

Yes, pneumatic conveying can be used to transport solid materials such as particles and powders. Certain special requirements need to be taken into account when transporting lime; for example, since lime is prone to weathering, the air used for transportation must have its moisture removed ; The corrosiveness of lime must be fully taken into account when selecting conveying pipelines and dust collection bags. As for the solid-gas ratio, it depends on the conveying method used, the conveying distance, and the difficulty of transporting the material; generally, the solid-gas ratio for dilute-phase conveying is 3 to 8 ; For dense-phase transport, a value of 10~30 can be used
