Handling of powders and bulk solids is a critical industrial technology, yet is very seldom seen on the curricula of chemistry or chemical engineering departments. Characterisation of Bulk Solids provides an understanding of the importance, techniques and industrial application of particulate materials characterisation. Readers will gain a better able to diagnose solids handling and processing problems in industry, and to deal with experts and equipment suppliers from an informed standpoint. Characterisation of Bulk Solids is directed at chemical engineers, scientists and technologists working with powdered materials in a broad spectrum of industries, such as agrochemicals, bulk and fine chemicals, good processing, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and plastics and polymers.

Review
A well-assembled compilation of information on a field of significance to many materials engineers.

From the Back Cover
Handling of powders and bulk solids is a critical industrial technology across a broad spectrum of industries, from minerals processing to bulk and fine chemicals, and the food and pharmaceutical industries, yet is rarely found in the curricula of engineering or chemistry departments.
With contributions from leading authors in their respective fields, Characterisation of Bulk Solids provides the reader with a sound understanding of the techniques, importance and application of particulate materials characterisation. It covers the fundamental characteristics of individual particles and bulk particulate materials, and includes discussion of a wide range of measurement techniques, and the use of material characteristics in design and industrial practice. The reader will then be in a better position to diagnose solids handling and processing problems in industry, and to deal with experts and equipment suppliers from an informed standpoint.
Written for post-graduate engineers, chemical scientists and technologists at all stages of their industrial career, the book will also serve as an ideal primer in any of the specialist areas to inform further study. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

First Sentence:
Surveys have shown that the production of powdered material had an annual value in excess of $10 billion (Waldie 1980), whilst others have shown that an estimated 25-30% of the total output from the chemical industries was in the physical form of either powdered or agglomerated material (Oliver & Ford 1987; Stanley-Wood et al. 1993; Waldie 1989).
