Overview

This reference work on the fundamentals and practical knowledge in the area of powder science and technology is devoted primarily to practical know-how with emphasis on relevant background theories. A broad spectrum of authors give particular attention to problem solving areas throughout the text. The handbook first covers the fundamentals of powder science and technology, then builds on them to emphasize practical applications in the design, production, processing and handling of applications. All chapters have been extensively revised to include the most recent developments in this field, with several chapters added in topics such as dense phase pneumatic conveying and the health hazards of respirable dust.
