Particulate Materials Synthesis, Characterisation, Processing and Modelling [Hardcover]

Naturally occurring or manufactured through chemical and/or physical processes, particulate materials are substances consisting of individual particles which have significance to the global economy, society and environments. Due to the diversity and intrinsic nature, manufacturing, handling and processing of particulate materials still face numerous challenges. Aimed at addressing these challenges, this book contains a selection of papers discussing the state-of-the-art research in particulate materials science that were presented at the UKChina Particle Technology Forum III held at Birmingham, UK in 2011.This book contains a selection of papers discussing the state-of-the-art research in particulate materials science that were presented at the UKChina Particle Technology Forum III held at Birmingham, UK in 2011.Synthesis; Characterisation; Processing; ModellingNaturally occurring or manufactured through chemical and/or physical processes, particulate materials are substances consisting of individual particles which have significance to the global economy, society and environments.

Classified into four distinct topics namely synthesis, characterisation, processing and modelling, the chapters showcase the advances in these areas including a range of advanced synthesis methods for example, spray-pyrolysis, supercritical fluid synthesis assisted with ultrasound, continuous synthesis using supercritical water, hydrothermal synthesis of nano-particulate materials and jet milling. For characterisation, various methods for characterising particulate materials at both particle and systel³"
