Particle Impact Breakage in Particulate Processing

Abstract

The study of particle breakage in particulate processing is presented at two principal scales. Single-particle impact results are shown to be useful in deducing and understanding process-scale particle breakage behaviour. Particulate breakage in fluidised bed granulation, high-shear granulation and pneumatic conveying systems are explored with a focus on presenting techniques and results connected with furthering understanding and modelling.
