This volume, Fluidization, Solids Handling, and Processing, is the
first of a series of volumes on "Particle Technology" to be
published by Noyes Publications with Professor L. S. Fan of Ohio
State University as the consulting editor. Particles are important
products of chemical process industries spanning the basic and
specialty chemicals, agricultural products, pharmaceuticals,
paints, dyestuffs and pigments, cement, ceramics, and electronic
materials. Solids handling and processing technologies are thus
essential to the operation and competitiveness of these industries.
Fluidization technology is employed not only in chemical
production, it also is applied in coal gasification and combustion
for power generation, mineral processing, food processing, soil
washing and other related waste treatment, environmental
remediation, and resource recovery processes. The FCC (Fluid
Catalytic Cracking) technology commonly employed in the modern
petroleum refineries is also based on fluidization principles.
There are many books published on the subjects of fluidization,
solids handling, ad processing. However, the Author found that some
industrially important subjects were either not covered in those
books or were skimpily rendered. He felt that it would be a service
to the profession and the engineering community to assemble all
these topics in one volume. In this book, he has invited recognized
experts in their respective areas to provide a detailed treatment
of those industrially important subjects. The subject areas covered
in this book were selected based on two criteria: (1) the subjects
are of industrial importance, and (2) the subjects have not been
covered extensively in bookspublished to date.
The primary emphasis of the book is for industrial applications
and the primary audience is expected to be the practitioners of the
art of fluidization, solids handling, and processing. It will be
particularly beneficial for engineers who operate design plants
where solids are handled, transported, and processed using
fluidization technology. The book, however, can also be useful as a
reference book for students, teachers, and managers who study the
particle technology especially in the areas of application of
fluidization technology and pneumatic transport.
Key Features:
Focuses on industrially important subjects not covered in other
texts.
Useful reference for students, teachers and managers who study
particle technology.
Particularly beneficial for engineers who operate or design
plants where solids are handled, transported, and processed using
fluidization technology.
