Powders: Their Properties and Processing
September 10-12, 2012
Boca Raton, FL
Who Should Attend
The course is designed primarily for those concerned with
products developed or manufactured from powdered solids in
the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and related industries. Most of
the material, however, will be general enough to prove
valuable to a much wider range of interests including, but not
limited to:
• Scientists
• Suppliers
• Technologists
Description
The primary purpose of this course is to review the various
properties of powdered solids pertinent to the development
and manufacture of the products of the pharmaceutical,
cosmetic and allied industries. In particular, the latest
experimental techniques and equipment for evaluating
important properties of powders will be discussed and related
to both the underlying principles and common industrial
problems. The different powder processing operations will be
discussed and the range of equipment and machinery for
each will be critically reviewed.
Each topic will be briefly introduced at a fairly fundamental
level, but will then be extended to cover more sophisticated
and innovative techniques, emphasizing the practical
usefulness whenever relevant. The formal sessions will be
supplemented by informal discussion periods. You will be
encouraged to raise specific problems.
HALF DAY WORKSHOP
Course attendees are cordially invited to visit the
laboratories of instrument manufacturer
Quantachrome Instruments on the morning of
September 13 for a half day powder and porous materials
characterization workshop. You will be able to conduct
powder sampling experiments, particle size analyses,
tapped density and true density measurements and to
see state-of-the-art surface area, pore size and water
sorption DVS instruments first hand.
There is no additional fee for this optional half-day
bonus extension, however please indicate your
interest when you register for the course so that
appropriate arrangements can be made to
accommodate all those interested. Please indicate
