Abstract
<jats:p>This book provides a comprehensive overview of particulate materials, their properties, and the engineering principles underlying their processing. Particulate materials, ubiquitous in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to construction, consist of discrete solid particles. Understanding the unique characteristics of these materials is crucial for designing efficient and effective processing equipment. The book delves into the key factors influencing the behavior of particulate materials, including particle size distribution, shape, surface properties, and inter-particle forces. It explores the concepts of bulk density, porosity, and permeability, and discusses how these properties impact material handling, mixing, separation, and compaction processes. The book also covers the theoretical foundations of particulate mechanics, such as the mechanics of granular materials. Additionally, it presents experimental techniques for characterizing the properties of particulate materials and discusses the design and operation of various processing equipment, including mills, classifiers, filters, and dryers. This book is intended for engineers, scientists, and students involved in the processing of particulate materials. It provides a solid foundation in the fundamental principles and practical applications of particulate technology.</jats:p>
