Particulates production and handling operating safety.
Aims
To offer a general knowledge of the today Powder Technology science possibilities used in practice.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Lectures on the most problematical points of the Powder Technology processes in the chemical, silicate, food, pharmaceutical and other industries. Permanently inovated lectures demand attending of students. Recommended literature and the main thesis of the lectures on www pages of Faculty of Chemistry is insufficient for the successfull exam.
