Powder Sampling and Particle Size Measurement
by Dr. Terence Allen (Elsevier, 2003)
Review: This book is the most comprehensive text on this subject published
to date and expresses the experience of the author gained in over fifty years
of research and consulting in the powder industry. For those not conversant
with the subject the book contains extensive information from which instrument
selection can be made. For those familiar with the field it provides an update
of new instrumentation - particularly on-line or process instruments
-- upon which the control of particle processes is based. Overall the book continues
to be the international reference text and is a must for practitioners in the field.

Handbook on Basics of Coating Technology by Artur Goldschmidt and
Hans-Joachim Streitbeger (William Andrew Publ, 2003) 792 pages, $195.
This has standard tables, general classification figures, definitions, and an extensive
keyword index to help engineers and technicians avoid or solve manufacturing problems.
The text surveys the various coating processes using many pictures; it also comments
on changes in the industry as it has altered products and processes for reduced
environmental impact and toxicity.
Fundamentals of Particle Technology, by Richard Holdich
(2003, 10 £ plus shipping and handling), is based on twenty years
experience teaching the subject. Each chapter in this 182-page book
has a series of questions based on solving a practical engineering problem.
Chapter titles include Particle characterisation, Fluid flow through
porous media, Liquid filtration, Dilute systems*,
Hindered systems and rheology, Fluidisation, Centrifugal separation, Conveying,
Powder flow and storage, Crushing and classification, Solid/solid mixing,
Colloids and agglomeration, Gas cleaning*, and Powder hazards.
Chapters marked with a * may be viewed online (as encrypted PDF files) but not printed.
The detailed table of contents serves as a useful outline of the principles
of particle technology.
