In powder technology, kinetics of particles is strongly affected by electrostatic charging, which can be applied to control particle motions or can cause troubles or hazards; however there are still a lot of unknowns in its nature. This session covers a range of fundamental and applied topics related to electrostatic charging of particles. Keywords: fundamental of tribocharging, measurement, adhesion, aggregation, particle control, electrophotography, electrostatic separation, electrostatic charging in powder processes, gas discharge, hazards, segregation, electrostatic charging of pharmaceutical powder, electrostatics in space.
