Advanced Particle Technology Laboratory

APTLab


Applied research on handling and processing of particulate solids

OUR RESEARCH

Applied & fundamental research on Particle Technology.

OUR PAPERS

A continuous effort to produce high level scientific publications.

OUR NETWORK

A growing network fostering knowledge and dissemination.

OUR APPROACH

The laboratory activities focus on several aspects of Particle Technology and aim at solving handling and processing problems. Since bulk properties are affected by single particle properties, we investigate the links between microscopic and macroscopic properties of the particulate solids. As a result we mainly work in the following areas:

Our approach to Particle Technology is both experimental (see Facilities >>>) and numerical (mainly Finite Element Method, FEM, and Distinct Element Method, DEM simulations of particulate materials). The laboratory works with state-of-the-art facilities. In addition it shares expertise (Network >>>) and additional facilities with other academic groups in order to tackle the often complex problems of Particle Technology.
