Abstract
Abstract A method for agglomerating particles utilizing a rotating drum in which not greater than 10% of the total volume of the drum is composed of the particles to be agglomerated, spraying the particles in a spray zone with liquid to permit particles of at least a single depth to adhere to the interior surface of the drum and form a traction layer of the particles which upon rotating the drum carries particles up the side in the direction of rotation until they reach a fall back zone. The particles which do not adhere to the traction layer roll back down in the spray zone and adhere to other particles to agglomerate.
