Advanced Powder Technologies

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Advanced Powder Technologies
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. analyze, describe and classify powders and particulate products in terms of particle and bulk properties (e.g. particle size, shape, microstructures, density, flow, surface energy, dissolution properties), evaluate how forces (e.g. gravity, electrical and Van der Waals forces, capillary forces, friction forces) govern particle, powder and product behaviors, and appreciate safety, health and enviro 2. , based on critical considerations, design and apply typical unit operations such as particle formation (crystallization, spray drying), size modification (grinding, granulation, compaction), mixing and separation, filtration, settling, fluidization, drying, transport and storage. 3. translate and implement acquired knowledge into engineering unit operations and the design of powder products.
Omschrijving	Many (chemical) ingredients, and (intermediate) products are powders. This makes that particle technology includes a wide area of subjects varying from production of powders by crystallization or spray drying, formulation and shaping such powders into functional products such as granulates or tablets. This course discusses the fundamentals of particle interactions, determination of basic properties of powders, handling and storage and the related processes leading to desired particulate products. The student will become familiar with the characteristic mixing, transport and agglomeration properties of solid products. Analytical tools used to predict performance of particulate based products in processing operations will be discussed and the application of relationships between simple laboratory tests and large scale processing behavior will be trained.
