Mixing in Process Industries


Description:
The use of mixing technology in industry is critical to a broad spectrum of applications. The use of mixing theory and evolving experimental methods are required for successful development and scale-up. We invite papers in these (and related) areas describing mixing-related process development work, as well as methodologies to scale up or scale down mixing-sensitive processes.
