Particle Size Reduction I: General Aspects, Physics of Breakage, Shape, Size and Surface (First in a two-part series)

 
  July 27, 2010  
     
 
CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
October 27, 2010 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)


Who Should Attend
This course is intended for professionals in the processes industries including those in the Chemical Process Industries, Biochemical industries, Pharmaceuticals, Mining, Pigment Manufacturing, Specialty Chemicals, Agrichemicals, Food Processing; Waste Management and Paper Processing. The novice will be quickly brought "up to speed" and the expert will be exposed to a detailed review of the subjects.

Engineers, scientists and technical personnel looking for understanding of principles of size reduction and engineers involved with solids processing, size reduction and control in mining, ore production, specialty chemical manufacturing, reactor & pilot plants, process and project design and waste processing and waste minimization will benefit from this training.

Typical job titles of those who should attend include:Process chemist, Food technologist and Engineers in the following areas: Mining, Agricultural, Chemical Manufacturing, Mechanical, Maintenance, Project and Process, and Research. This course is applicable to Solid-Solid Separations, Mining and Ore Production, Chemical Reactor Design, Pilot Plant Studies Design and Scaleup, Specialty Chemical Production, Pharmaceutical Production, Paint & Pigment Industries, Solid Size Reduction and Ceramics & Cement Industries.

Description
This is a 2-part series.To receive the maximum benefit from this training, the course director recommends that participants attend both sessions. However, each session may also be taken individually should one specific area of this particle size reduction series match your training needs.

This 90-minute accredited online training course will review basic principles, physics of breakage, material properties, particle size, shape and surface and their distributions.

Module 1: General Aspect of Size Reduction
  • Reasons; Performance; Objectives; Particle size; Reynolds
    number; Effect of size; Energy & power requirements; 
    Breakage laws

Module 2: Physics of Breakage
  • Elastic & plastic properties; Stress-Strain Curve; Breakage 
    modes; Stiffness; Strength; Toughness; Breakability;
    Brittleness; Crack propagation; Energy; Additives

Module 3: Particle Shape, Size & Surface
  • Shape; Shape terms; Shape indices; Material effects; 
    Machine effects; Revolutions; Size distributions; Grind 
    limit; Size measurement; Surface area; Time effects

Organized by: CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement
Invited Speakers: Dr. Gary Tatterson, Professor of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina A&T State University

Gary B. Tatterson brings to this course over 30 years of experience in the thermal science and multiphase processing areas. As a consultant he has worked on design problems for numerous companies including Mead Paper Co., Wilson Great Batch, Akzo Coatings, America B.J. Services, Raytheon Texaco E.I. du Pont, Rohm Haas, and Colgate.

Dr. Tatterson has written extensively in the area of fluid mechanics, thermal, sciences and design. He has over 38 refereed publications and has recently published a design text. Presently he is a full professor of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina A&T State University (NC A&T SU) where he teaches thermal science courses two plant design courses and a pilot plant course.
