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 UK-China Particle
Technology Forum III held at Birmingham, UK in 2011. 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 system levels are
introduced and how these properties affect the behaviour of
particulate materials in various processes, such as inhalation,
filling, and consolidation, are discussed. In the processing
section, recent advances such as capsule filling, micro-dosing, dry
granulation, roll compaction, milling, and more are presented. The
last section concerns mathematical and numerical modelling in
particulate materials, for which the book includes both analytical
methods and advanced numerical methods, such as discrete element
methods (DEM), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), lattice
Boltzmann methods (LBM), coupled DEM/CFD and DEM/LBM, and their
applications. Particulate Materials is aimed at research
communities dealing with these diverse materials, and scientists
and engineers in powder handling industries, such as
pharmaceutical, food, fine chemical and detergents.
