Dispersing Powders in Liquids, Part 1.
by Dr. Ralph D. Nelson, Jr., P.E. (ERPT)
The introductory material for this book notes the wide variety of phenomena
and industrial operations that involve particles, notes the variety of particle shapes
and agglomerate structures, and introduces the concepts of particle size distribution,
clustering, and breakage.

System Design
Lyn Bates (Ajax Equipment Limited)
has written several humourous articles to remind us of what to do and what to avoid
when designing systems through which powders must flow.
The articles contain a lot of techno-jargon and are intended for an audience of
experienced particle technologists, but beginners will enjoy reading them
to see how much they recognize and to provide a benchmark for their growth
in mastering the field of solids handling.
