Characterisation of Bulk Solids
von D. McGlincheyHandling of powders and bulk solids is a critical industrialtechnology across a broad spectrum of industries, from mineralsprocessing to bulk and fine chemicals, and the food andpharmaceutical industries, yet is rarely found in the curricula ofengineering or chemistry departments.
With contributions from leading authors in their respectivefields, Characterisation of Bulk Solids provides the readerwith a sound understanding of the techniques, importance andapplication of particulate materials characterisation. It coversthe fundamental characteristics of individual particles and bulkparticulate materials, and includes discussion of a wide range ofmeasurement techniques, and the use of material characteristics indesign and industrial practice. The reader will then be in a betterposition to diagnose solids handling and processing problems inindustry, and to deal with experts and equipment suppliers from aninformed standpoint.
Written for post-graduate engineers, chemical scientists andtechnologists at all stages of their industrial career, the bookwill also serve as an ideal primer in any of the specialist areasto inform further study.
