Specific Techniques for Granular Materials

Several separation techniques listed in the previous section are used to separate finely divided solids within a bicomponent system (Rushton et al., 2000). A thorough understanding of particle technology principles will therefore be useful not only to design storage and conveying systems (Part I) or
