Control of Particle Size and Porosity in Continuous Fluidized‐Bed Layering Granulation Processes.

Particle formulation processes such as continuous fluidized‐bed layering granulation (FBLG) are widely applied in chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Particle size and particle porosity are important product properties in FBLG. In this paper, a new concept is presented for the simultaneous control of both properties. The new concept allows stable process operation, automatic adjustment of the desired product properties, and rejection of unforseen disturbances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
