Introduction to Particle Technology (Repost)

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)
