Powder Technology: Handling and Operations, Process Instrumentation, and Working Hazards

Hiroaki Masuda, Ko Higashitani, Hideto Yoshida

Drawing from the third edition of the popular Powder Technology Handbook, this book concentrates its coverage on powder/particle handling methods and unit operations. This individual, self-contained volume encompasses the preparation, storage, and transportation of particles as well as kneading, drying, separation, filtration, and powder coating processes. It also describes multipurpose equipment and other instrumentation for necessary measurements. The text concludes with a look at the health effects of small particles and what types of protective devices are available. This book also discusses recent developments in areas including combustion and heating, electrostatic powder coating, and simulation.
