1.1 PARTICLE TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IS PARTICLE TECHOLOGY?
• .Particle technology is defined as the art of the handling and processing of particles.
• Particles can be bulk solids, particulate solids and granular solids; liquid drops (emulsions) and gas bubbles.

WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PARAMETERS USED IN PARTICLE PROCESSING? • Physical parameters: size, shape and density of particle; density and viscosity of the continous phase, etc.
• Surface parameters: wettability, surface charge, Hamaker constants, adsorption, etc.
• Properties of additives (salts, surfactants) added to the continous phase.

Particles found in different industries
Chee 2940: Lecture 1 17
![Page 19: CHEE2940 Lecture 1 - Overview](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051820/5528b00f4a7959e23d8b485c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1.5 PROCESS PROPERTIES OF INTEREST
Powder = group of particles. Granular material = group of granules. Behaviour of powder (or granular materials) effects processing and performance of products. Properties of particles affect the behaviour of powders: Chee 2940: Lecture 1 18
![Page 20: CHEE2940 Lecture 1 - Overview](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051820/5528b00f4a7959e23d8b485c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
- Concentration of particles (volume fraction), - Size and shape of particles, - And interactions (forces) among particles.
Properties of Interest: Flow behaviour (rheology) Packing density (porosity) Strength of particle aggregates Mixability and segregation. Chee 2940: Lecture 1 19
![Page 21: CHEE2940 Lecture 1 - Overview](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051820/5528b00f4a7959e23d8b485c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Large or Small • Surface area to volume ratio • Large (>10 microns) – body forces dominates:
F = mg; F = ma (easy to understand). • Small (<10microns) – surface forces dominates: Colloidal particles (nanometre to 1 microns) & Macromolecules. Need specialist knowledge to understand
(surface chemistry)! Chee 2940: Lecture 1 20
![Page 22: CHEE2940 Lecture 1 - Overview](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051820/5528b00f4a7959e23d8b485c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Dry or Wet Fluid dynamic forces and surface forces!
Dry – aerodynamics negligible due to low viscosity of air in all but the smallest and least dense particles (dust, smoke). Wet – hydrodynamics is important, and solution and surface chemistry can be used to control surface forces in colloidal particles.
