Particle technology is a term used to refer to the science and
technology related to the handling and processing of particles and
powders. The production of particulate materials, with controlled
properties tailored to subsequent processing and applications, is of
major interest to a wide range of industries, including chemical and
process, food, pharmaceuticals, minerals and metals companies and the
handling of particles in gas and liquid solutions is a key
technological step in chemical engineering. This textbook provides an
excellent introduction to particle technology with worked examples and
exercises. Based on feedback from students and practitioners
worldwide, it has been newly edited and contains new chapters on
slurry transport, colloids and fine particles, size enlargement and
the health effects of fine powders. Topics covered include:
Characterization (Size Analysis) Processing (Granulation,
Fluidization) Particle Formation (Granulation, Size Reduction) Storage
and Transport (Hopper Design, Pneumatic Conveying, Standpipes, Slurry
Flow) Separation (Filtration, Settling, Cyclones) Safety (Fire and
Explosion Hazards, Health Hazards) Engineering the Properties of
Particulate Systems (Colloids, Respirable Drugs, Slurry Rheology) This
book is essential reading for undergraduate students of chemical
engineering on particle technology courses. It is also valuable
supplementary reading for students in other branches of engineering,
applied chemistry, physics, pharmaceutics, mineral processing and
metallurgy. Practitioners in industries in which powders are handled
and processed may find it a useful starting point for gaining an
understanding of the behavior of particles and powders. Review of the
First Edition taken from High Temperatures - High pressures 1999 31
243 – 251 "..This is a modern textbook that presents clear-cut
knowledge. It can be successfully used both for teaching particle
technology at universities and for individual study of engineering
problems in powder processing."
