Handling of powders and bulk solids is a critical industrial
technology across a broad spectrum of industries, from minerals
processing to bulk and fine chemicals, and the food and
pharmaceutical industries, yet is rarely found in the curricula of
engineering or chemistry departments.

With contributions from leading authors in their respective
fields, Characterisation of Bulk Solids provides the reader
with a sound understanding of the techniques, importance and
application of particulate materials characterisation. It covers
the fundamental characteristics of individual particles and bulk
particulate materials, and includes discussion of a wide range of
measurement techniques, and the use of material characteristics in
design and industrial practice. The reader will then be in a better
position to diagnose solids handling and processing problems in
industry, and to deal with experts and equipment suppliers from an
informed standpoint.

Written for post-graduate engineers, chemical scientists and
technologists at all stages of their industrial career, the book
will also serve as an ideal primer in any of the specialist areas
to inform further study.
