Abstract
The need for and the principles of morphological analysis as applied to particulate matter are briefly discussed. Applications of morphological analysis to a number of problems are cited. Topics include:
- relating morphology to the mechanisms of powder production;
- wear debris analysis by morphological analysis;
- kinetic modeling of crystallization processes.
Relationships between the behavior of particulate materials and the morphology of the particles are discussed in connection with:
- abrasive wear of metals;
- sedimentation in low flow regimes;
- measuring of bulk properties including internal angle of friction and flow times;
- dry separation technology;
- scrap recovery techniques.
The adaptation of the particle image analyzing system to analyze color as a morphic feature is presented. A number of examples of mixture analysis - classification studies are detailed and finally future work in packed and fluidized beds and slurry transportation is outlined.
