Size Enlargement by Agglomeration

  • Chapter
Handbook of Powder Science & Technology

Abstract

Size enlargement by agglomeration is a unit operation of mechanical process technology1 (Fig. 6.1). This field deals with the transport phenomena and changes of state of particulate matter which in most cases is solid but can also be liquid (droplets) and, in a few special cases, gaseous (microencapsulated). The unit operations of mechanical process technology can be differentiated by the processes of separation and combination with and without change of particle size.

References are listed at the end of sections 6.1 through 6.6.
