Powder Technology in Pharma, Food, Chemistry and Metallurgy
AIMThe aim of the course is twofold: on the one hand, to provide
participants with a better understanding of powder products
and processes. On the other hand, to supply participants with
tools to stimulate new ideas of development and improvement
of powder products and processes. At completion of the course
the participant will have gained a basic understanding of modern
powder technology.
COURSE OUTLINE• Particlepropertiesandphysicalbehaviour:measurements
and definitions
• Propertiesofpowder:definitions,importantproperties,
what and how to influence powder properties
• Particlesizeenlargement:granulation,tablettingand
sintering
• Powderprocessing:fractionation,mixing,redispersionin
liquid, conveying and storing
TARGET GROUPThose working in industry or in academia with powder produc-
tion or R&D. No specific educational background is required,
however previous studies in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, materi-
als engineering, food technology or similar are advisable.

Do you know your powder well enough?There is a multitude of powders used within the pharmaceutical, chemical, metallurgical and food industries. The processing and handling of powder also involves a multitude of operations such as production, the size and type of particles, transport, storage, redissolu-tion, powder blending, etc. A clear understanding of the characteristics of powders is requi-red in order to carry out these operations in an optimal manner. Parameters such as particle size distribution, particle shape, interparticulate forces, etc. have a significant impact on the powder properties and the handling of powder.
