Summary

• In industrial processing there is rarely a scheme which does not involve at least one stage where a new phase is created (condensation) or an existing phase is subject to a size reduction process (homogenization/communication). Dr Wedlock has collected together contributions from recognised authorities in their field to cover most aspects of 'particle' formation and control likely to be encountered by the research worker, the industrial chemist, the chemical and process engineer.
• The ability to control particle size distributions and to characterize them once formed is an increasingly important topic in the processing industry. Many standard processing techniques are looked at in this book, but from new and innovative perspectives. Well established techniques such as crystallization and precipitation are covered alongside newer technologies such as sol-gel processing.
• Formation of products using emulsions, aerosols and polymers covered in this book are used across a wide variety of processing industries and all those involved in the processing of chemicals, food, minerals bioproducts and many other products will find this book an informative reference source.
