Therefore, it was the author s intent to cover—for the first time in a textbook on agglomeration—the fundamentals in considerable detail and to introduce the multitude of agglomeration techniques as well as applications that have been developed during the past 100 years and, more specifically, during the most recent four to five decades. In Chapter 4 (Industrial Size Enlargement Equipment and Processes) as well as Chapter 5 ([Some Selected] Industrial Applications of Agglomeration) pressure agglomeration and, explicitly, roller presses have been covered in particular detail because of the author s past and present involvement as an expert in this area.
