Statement 2: Airlift pumps are used to convey powders in fluidized form. Correct Answer True, True

In airlift pumps, the air is introduced above a liquid in pressure level and that pressure is used to discharge the liquid. In case of powders, air is blown up through a bed of powder to convey it in the fluidized form. They are convenient for the materials which cannot be passed easily through valves and ports.
