A test to predict the behavior of irregularly shaped particles in a vertical air flow is developed and evaluated. The fundamental aspects of particle behavior are discussed, while irregularly shaped particles are highlighted. Dropping such particles in calm air at a height to establish a defined terminal settling velocity is the basis for the test. Meaningful comparisons are made as the same particles are injected in a vertical air flow. Conclusions point to the usefulness of the drop test for predicting particle behavior in a vertical air flow in general and organic/inorganic solid waste particles in air classifiers in particular. © 1982.
