Other Agglomeration Methods for Special Applications

3 Other Agglomeration Methods for Special Applications 4.2.3.1 General 

In pressure agglomeration a more or less stationary bed of particles is consolidated by pressure, bringing about various binding mechanisms. 

Therefore, the basis for all agglomeration methods can be found in the availability and/or selection of binding mechanisms. The technique or equipment used is only the vehicle to obtain the agglomerated product of desired shape, size, strength, density, etc. Consequently, agglomeration methods that can be considered special still employ similar effects and mechanisms, as mentioned before in the two main groups tumble (Section 4.2.1) and pressure (Section 4.2.2)
