Pressure Compaction Processes

The success of compressive agglomeration or pressure compaction processes depends on the effective utilization and transmission of the applied external force and on the ability of the material to form and maintain permanent interparticle bonds during pressure compaction (or consolidation) and decompression. Both of these aspects are controlled in turn by the geometry of the confined space, the nature of the applied loads, and the physical properties of the particulate material and of the confining walls.
