This preliminary program is subject to change.

Solids Handling and Processing


Description:
Papers on all aspects of solids handling, transport, storage and processing operations are included in the session scope. We welcome research investigations, industrial case histories, and papers on product applications for both dry and wet systems. In particular, we encourage submissions which consider the relationship and interaction between particle and material properties and process equipment, and product specifications and requirements. Papers addressing fundamental and phenomenological issues are also welcome.
