Particle Technology has emerged as a separate discipline in its own right; a body of knowledge which has its own unique paradigm of describing, modelling and controlling phenomena involving a wide variety of discrete entities and their interaction with the medium. Knowledge and expertise in particle technology is extremely important for several industries such as mineral processing and metal extraction, powder metallurgy, cement, drugs and pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, chemicals, detergents and paints and pigments. Considering the importance of this field to our industry, a number of experts in particle science and technology worldwide, in particular from Japan and other Asian countries took the initiative of starting the Asian Particle Technology (APT) Series of symposia.<\/p>\n
This proceedings is comprised of 201 plenary, keynote, oral and poster papers by authors from 23 countries and regions, covering not only the Asia Pacific regions but also around the world. The technical papers are divided into the following themes:
\n\u2022 Production of Particles (Crystallization, Atomization, Mechanical Activation, Synthesis in Aerosol Flame, Sol-gel and Microemulsion Reactors)
\n\u2022 Comminution (Crushing, Grinding, High Energy Milling, Attrition and Erosion)
\n\u2022 Agglomeration (Granulation, Pelletization, Briquetting, Tableting, Sintering)
\n\u2022 Bulk Powder Handling (Storage, Dust Collection and Transportation)
\n\u2022 Mixing, Granular Flow and Fluidization
\n\u2022 Roasting, Combustion and Smelting Reduction
\n\u2022 Solid-solid and Solid-liquid Separation (Gravity, Electrostatic, Magnetic and Flotation Separation, Filtration, Drying, Membrane Separation, Thickening)
