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."
