Abstract

Good particle design means understanding particle-particle and particle-fluid interactions and using this knowledge to properly design processes and products. It is the properties of the particle that dictate these interactions so particle characterisation is at the heart of particle design. Good characterisation of both the feed powders and the product granules is essential.
