TI013 Agglomeration And Granulation Processes
OverviewThis session is dedicated to the subject of the mechanics of slightly wet powders as they are sheared in a mixer-type device. The operations include layering, encapsulation, granulation and break-up of particles and agglomerates. Experimental and theoretical presentations from both academia and industry are invited.
