Contents: More than 60 % of the products from the chemical, biochemical and pharmaceutical industry are transported and distributed as powders. Of the remaining 40 % more than half has been in the form of a powder during the production. Powders include for example solid fuels, catalysts, pigments, detergents, foods, plastics, pharmaceutics and cement. Particle technology is a wide area which covers production of powders by e.g. spray drying, agglomeration, and crushing and grinding; characterization of powders/particles (size, shape, porosity and surface area), fluidization, pneumatic transport, fluid-solid separation by cyclones and filters, design of siloes for storage of powders, and mixing of powders. Safety aspects in relation to handling combustible powders, including dust explosions, is also covered. In the course the theory for each of the above mentioned subjects are presented and their use in industry is highlighted. The practical use of particle technology is illustrated by excursions to companies.
