Characterization of powders and aerosols

Characterization of fine particles is a difficult task!. A large number of industries deal with materials in powder form. The properties of these powders depend on their particle size, particle shape and size distributions, surface and porosity. What are the methods?. What are the problems?. What qu...

Summary: Characterization of fine particles is a difficult task!. A large number of industries deal with materials in powder form. The properties of these powders depend on their particle size, particle shape and size distributions, surface and porosity. What are the methods?. What are the problems?. What questions need answering?. This new book covers the problems of sampling both powders and aerosols, and discusses calibration standards for different instruments. It takes into account fractionating methods for fine particles, e.g., sieving procedures, sedimentation methods, and the use of cyclones. I.
