Particle technology

Particle technology

The Particle Technology Forum, an international and interdisciplinary forum, but also a division of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, who states: "...particle technology -- that branch of science and engineering dealing with the production, handling, modification, and use of a wide variety of particulate materials, both wet or dry, in sizes ranging from nanometers to centimeters... spans a range of industries to include chemical, petrochemical, agricultural, food, pharmaceuticals, mineral processing, advanced materials, energy, and the environment"

Particle technology thus deals with bulk storage, crushing and grinding, particle size separation, such as sieving, tabling, flotation, qualitative separation such as magnetic separation, and/or electrostatic precipitation, fluidisation, flocculation, particle characterisation, particle size analysis, powder metallurgy, nanotechnology and others.

The 8th UK Particle Technology Forum 2007 was held on 26-27 September 2007 at Robinson College, Cambridge, UK.

The Internet book entitled Fundamentals of Particle Technology on the World-Wide Web Virtual Library of the "University of Florida Engineering Research Center (ERC) Particle Size and Technology (PS&T) group" [ [http://www.che.ufl.edu/www-che/topics/particle_technology.html The World-Wide Web Virtual Library: Chemical Engineering: Particle Technology ] ] consists of the following downloadable chapters for private study:
