Fluid Bed Particle Processing

Abstract

Fluid bed granulation in the form of agglomeration and coating processes are important unit operations used for many purposes in the biochemical and pharmaceutical industries. Although being simple in the fundamental principles, such processes are difficult to control and fully understand. In this text the processes and principles of fluid bed wet granulation processes are introduced together with an introduction to the mechanical properties of processed granules. Thus, you will be familiar with the basic principles and theory within this important field on a bachelor or master-of-science level.
