Download or read book The Science and Engineering of Granulation Processes written by Jim Litster and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book had its origins in a meeting between two (relatively) young particle technology researchers on Rehobeth Beach in Delaware in 1992 near the holiday house of Reg Davies (then Director of the Particle Science and Technology Research Center in Dupont). As we played in the sand, we shared an excitement for developments in particle technology, especially particle characterization, that would lead operations such as granulation to be placed on a sound scientific and engineering footing. The immediate outcome from this interaction was the development of new industry short courses in granulation and related topics which we taught together both in Australia and North America. This book follows closely the structure and approaches developed in these courses, particularly the emphasis on particle design in granulation, where the impact of both formulation properties and process variables on product attributes needs to be understood and quantified. The book has been a long time in the making. We have been actively preparing the book for at least five years. Although the chapters have relatively good bibliographies, this book is not a review of the field. Rather it is an attempt by the authors to present a comprehensive engineering approach to granulator design, scale up and operation. It is exciting for us to see the explosion of research interest around the world in this area in the last five to seven years. Some of the most recent work will have to find its way into the second edition.

Download or read book Granulation Technology for Bioproducts written by Kiran L. Kadam and published by CRC-Press. This book was released on 1990-11-20 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Granulation technology is important to the manufacturing of many bioproducts, such as detergent enzymes (biologically-derived products) and pharmaceuticals (bioactive products). This book describes the granulation of bioproducts through traditional approaches, such as fluidized bed granulation, spray drying, high-shear granulation and extrusion-spheronization, in addition to the application of newer approaches such as microencapsulation and liquid phase granulation. Freeze drying is also covered, which is the preferred mode for producing granular starter cultures used in the dairy industry. In addition to discussions regarding the full spectrum of suitable granulation processes, post-granulation steps such as drying (for wet processes) and coating are explained. The slant of the book is practical, which is borne out by chapters regarding the various industrial processes used to manufacture granular detergent enzymes and immobilized glucose isomerase and the selection of proper granulation processes for specific applications. Granulation Technology for Bioproducts is an important book for all bioproduct processing engineers.

This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume presents most techniques and methods that have been developed by material scientists, chemists, chemical engineers and physicists for the commercial production of particulate materials, ranging from the millimeter to the nanometer scale. The scope includes the physical and chemical background, experimental optimization of equipment and procedures, as well as an outlook on future methods. The books addresses issues of industrial importance such as specifications, control parameter(s), control strategy, process models, energy consumption and discusses the various techniques in relation to potential applications. In addition to the production processes, all major unit operations and characterization methods are described in this book. It differs from other books which are devoted to a single technique or a single material. Contributors to this book are acknowledged experts in their field. The aim of the book is to facilitate comparison of the different unit operations leading to optimum equipment choices for the production, handling and storage of particulate materials. An advantage of this approach is that unit operations that are common in one field of application are made accessible to other fields. The overall focus is on industrial application and the book includes some concrete examples. The book is an essential resource for students or researchers who work in collaboration with manufacturing industries or who are planning to make the switch from academia to industry.
