Particle Technology

Basic and applied research in the field of:
- Solid/ gas, droplet/gas and solid/liquid separation
- Fugitive dust emission
- Bulk solids mechanics and powder handling processes
- Particle size measurement techniques
Research Focus:
- Solid/ gas, droplet/gas and solid/liquid separation
- Investigating the physical mechanism during the aging process of cleanable dust filter media, development a new “aging”- chamber
- Development of an image analysis method to characterise the porous structure of surface treated cleanable dust filter media
- Development of a standard test procedure to characterise different mist separators for metal working fluid emissions
- Investigation of the electrostatic enhancement of cleanable
- Dust filters (hybrid filter)
- Characterisation of melt blown dust depth filter media
- Solid /liquid separation (micro filtration, filter aid filtration)
Fugitive dust emissions
- Evaluation of road dust emissions
- Dust minimisation by water spraying
- Measuring techniques to detect fugitive dust emissions
