2nd International Hosokawa Powder Technology SymposiumFree Educational Event - October 4th, 2017 – Summit, NJ
Challenges & Opportunities in Particle Characterization & Processing
The development of particle processing technology is closely related to the new economy, which made use of more hightech products towards the beginning of the 21st century. Applying ultrafine powders and nanoparticles to create newmaterials has caught the imaginations of researchers around the world. Although particle processing technology has
gained significant progress in recent years, learning to use the processing technologies via particle characterization toachieve new product functionalities while meeting with the environmental and safety requirements is still challenging, but
full of opportunities.
The Hosokawa Powder Technology Symposium deals with these technologies, future trends and offers
academic/industrial presentations by well-known experts with the opportunity to get acquainted with other particle/powder
processing professionals. The Symposium will be hosted at the Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems in Summit, New
Jersey on October 4, 2017 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Dr. Anthony J. Hickey - RTI International, Research Triangle ParkThe Symposium was originally started by the Hosokawa Micron Corporation in 1968 to promote powder science andtechnology, which was closely related to the processing of numerous kinds of materials, from daily commodities toadvanced functional materials.
The first International Hosokawa Powder Technology Symposium was held in Germany in 2014 as part of a special eventfor the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation. We are excited toannounce that the second symposium will be held in New Jersey this year. For the Symposium, specialists in the area areinvited as lecturers from both the academic and industrial fields. Various topics concerning powder science andtechnology will be discussed during the lectures.
Check-in opens at 9:00 AM with a light breakfast and presentations start at 10:00 AM. Lunch will be included and thepresentations conclude at 3:00 PM. Although the event is free to attend, registration is required. Register early – only 150
tickets are available.

Leveraging Particle and Nano Bio Technologies for Product and Process Innovations
Dr. Brij M. Moudgil - Center for Particulate and Surfactant Sysytems (CPaSS)
Conventional particle processing techniques have contributed significantly to particles and product development efforts over the years.
Industrial practitioners and university researchers continue to make progress in achieving new functionalities especially with greener
reagent schemes. On the other hand, adapting/hybridizing new processing technologies can produce a quantum leap in the types,
quality, and economics of the industrial particle products and processes. For example, nanotechnology derived concepts may be usedin producing value added products from existing industrial minerals or waste particle streams.
In this regard, researchers at the Center for Particulate and Surfactant Systems (CPaSS) at the University of Florida have been
investigating technologies that can lead to the development of functionalities that can lead to new products/processes. Specific efforts
are being made to cross fertilize products and process innovations across a spectrum of industries - from mining to microelectronics tobio technologies. In this presentation, select project developments will be discussed, and challenges and opportunities for developing
greener and more sustainable industrial particle processes and products will be outlined.
Size Reduction Technologies for Efficient Powder Processing Systems
Bill Brown – Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems
Many process engineers know the material characteristics they want but are unfamiliar with the specific size-reduction technology they
may require. As products and technologies become more advanced in today’s markets, the need for materials with specific properties
for special applications becomes more important. With the broad range of requirements, it’s not practical to think that one type of milling
technology will satisfy all needs. This presentation will give you an overview of five product-specific milling technologies used in manyindustrial applications today.
The most important aspect of selecting a size-reduction technology is to know some basic information about the product you want toprocess: feed particle size material characteristics, required particle size, and desired particle size distribution. It is important to notethat based on product characteristics only certain milling technologies may be suitable for a given application. Starting a projectunderstanding these basic requirements will result in an economical and trouble-free milling system solution.
There are four basic techniques utilized in size-reduction of dry powders. They include impact, shear, attrition and compression forces.
In some cases a combination of these may be found in any single mill type. Impact and attrition size-reduction methods include airclassifying mills, pin mills, hammer mills and jet mills. Shear, impact and compression methods are used in media or ball mills. We
chose to discuss these five types of milling technologies because they cover more than 90-percent of size-reduction applications inmajor chemical, food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and mineral industries.
Particle Shape Analysis – Sometimes It’s Very Important
Raymond S. Farinato - Solvay Technology Solutions
The importance of particle shape on the material properties of suspensions is especially evident at particle concentrations whereparticle-particle interactions and networking begins to become important. Critical particle concentrations where these effects manifest
depend on particle shape distribution as well as particle size distribution. Analysis of shape distributions then becomes an important toolfor deconvoluting the effects of shape and size on suspension behavior. Two examples, one based on suspension rheology in confinedgeometries and one based on filtration, are used to illustrate these issues.
Particle Technology for Dry Powder Inhalers
Anthony J. Hickey - RTI International
The performance of dry powder inhalers (DPIs) depends on the formulation and its interaction with the device. DPIs have been used for
50 years in the treatment of asthma and more recently for the treatment of chronic obstructive lung disease. These disease statesrequire low doses and it is sufficient to use micronized drug in blends with lactose, a large particle carrier. Micronized drug formulations
require a thorough understanding of the forces of interaction and methods of overcoming them. More recently high dose antimicrobial
therapies for lung infections have been developed which require that readily dispersible drug particles are prepared notably by spraydrying. The type of inhaler employed and its suitability for developing world applications in terms of simplicity and low cost must be
considered. Since a range of inhalers are available for each formulation it would be helpful to adopt a standardized method forevaluating the formulation independent of the inhaler to define desirable operating characteristics, e.g. pressure drop across the device,
which could be incorporated into the design specification.
