About this title

Synopsis

The Fourth Edition of Powder Technology Handbook continues to serve as the comprehensive guide to powder technology and the fundamental engineering processes of particulate technology, while incorporating significant advances in the field in the decade since publication of the previous edition. The handbook offers a well-rounded perspective on powder technologies in gas and liquid phases that extends from particles and powders to powder beds and from basic problems to actual applications.

This new edition features fully updated and new chapters written by a team of internationally distinguished contributors. All content has been updated and new sections added on.

Powder Technology Handbook provides methodologies of powder and particle handling technology essential to scientific researchers and practical industrial engineers. It contains contemporary and comprehensive information on powder and particle handling technology that is extremely useful not only to newcomers but also to experienced engineers and researchers in the field of powder and particle science and technology.

About the Author

Ko Higashitani is an emeritus professor of Kyoto University. He received BS degree from Kyoto University in 1968, and Ph.D. degree from University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA in 1973 in the field of Chemical Engineering. After he worked in Kyushu Institute of Technology, he moved to Kyoto University as a professor of Chemical Engineering. He is an Editorial Board of Powder Technology and an International Advisory Board of Particuology, and he was the Executive Editor of Chemical Engineering Science and the Editor-in-Chief of Advanced Powder Technology. His present major research interest is the correlation between macroscopic behaviors of colloidal particles in solutions, such as, the particle formation, the coagulation, dispersion, deposition and detachment of colloidal particles, with the molecular-scale characteristics of particles and particle surfaces which can be evaluated by the Atomic Force Microscope.

Hisao Makino is a Research Adviser of Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry, Japan (CRIEPI) and a Visiting Professor of Kyushu University and Gunma University. He is also a Vice-president of the Association of Powder Process Industry and Engineering, Japan and a Vice-president of the Japan Institute of Energy. He received his B.Sc., M.SC degrees and Ph.D. from Kyoto University. His main research subject is a development of solid fossil fuel utilization technology including coal and biomass for power generation. His current interests are high temperature combustion and gasification reaction of pulverized fossil fuel, dust collection technology and control technology of greenhouse gas emission from thermal power stations.

Shuji Matsusaka is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Kyoto University. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Hiroshima University and Ph.D. from Kyoto University. He has held important positions in academic organizations in areas of powder technology, aerosol science, and electrostatics. He has been the editor-in-chief of Advanced Powder Technology since 2013. Dr Matsusaka’s current research interests are characterizing particle electrification, adhesion, and flowability, as well as handling micro-particles and nano-particles in gases.
