Particle technology thus deals with:
*the behavior of solids in bulk, including soil mechanics, bulk material handling, silos, conveying, powder metallurgy, nanotechnology;
*size reduction including crushing and grinding;
*increasing size by flocculation, granulation, powder compaction, tableting, crystallization
*particle separation, such as sieving, tabling, flotation, magnetic separation, and/or electrostatic precipitation, fluidization, Centrifugal separation, Liquid filtration;
*analytical procedures such as particle size analysis.
