There are several sources of information providing a mathematical description of terms used in light scattering. However, these may not help in understanding their use in the practical application of the technique.
Engineers at the Universidade Federal de Itajuba (UNIFEI)(Brazil) innovate practical solutions that improve the efficiency of crude oil processing. One research area is the evaluation and improvement of separators for oil-in-water emulsions.
Considerable support is offered during streamlining, development and accelerating the evolution of successful process designs. With on-line particle size analysis as an example, this article considers the rationale for investment in real-time measurement for pilot scale work.
Manufacturers need to embrace new more efficient ways of working to meet the environmental, commercial and legislative demands of today’s market place. This article examines the potential of on-line particle analysis in this context.
There is a broad range of commercially available particle characterization techniques that can be used to measure particulate samples. Each has its strengths and limitations and there is no universally applicable technique for all samples and all situations.
The particle size is the most important physical property of particulate samples. Particle size measurement is normally done across a range of industries and is a critical parameter in the manufacture of many products.
James Smith is a Professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Virginia and also the founder of PureMadi. In this interview he talks about the unique properties of their ceramic filters and why water filtration so important for the health of many countries.

Spheroidizing is a form of heat treatment of iron-based alloys, which is done at temperatures that are slightly below the critical range and followed by a slow cooling process. The process of spheroidizing is a specific heat treatment of steels, mainly carbon steel.
Press forging may be defined as the process of shaping a metal that is placed between two dies by applying mechanical or hydraulic pressure.
