Preliminary Program subject to change
03A02 Agglomeration and Granulation Processes I
OverviewWe plan a session about all aspects of particles size increase i.e., formation of larger granules from fine particles with or without the use of a binder. This will cover wet-and melt-granulation, fluid bed granulation and coating and compaction under pressure. Papers are requested on both theoretical, computer modeling and experimental research performed on the above systems.
