Powder and Bulk Engineering's STORE Dust Explosions in the Process Industries, Third Edition Rolf K. Eckhoff Any plant can be at risk for dust explosions. This book shows how to create a safe operating environment and prevent such catastrophes. It thoroughly examines the nature of dust explosions, sources of ignition, means of propagation, and techniques to prevent, contain, and dampen them. Includes case histories and material ignitability/explosivity data. 719 pages. Bulk Nanostructured Materials Edited by Michael J. Zehetbauer and Yuntian T. Zhu The processing and mechanical behavior of bulk nanostructured materials is one of the most interesting new fields of research on advanced materials systems. Many nanocrystalline materials possess very high strength with good ductility and exhibit high values of fatigue resistance and fracture toughness. There has been continuing interest in these nanomaterials for use in structural and biomedical applications, and this has led to a large number of research programs worldwide.This book focuses on the processing techniques, microstructures, mechanical and physical properties, and applications of bulk nanostructured materials, as well as related fundamental issues. 710 pages. O r d e r o n l i n e @ w w w. p o w d e r b u l k . c o m Processing of Particulate Solids J.P.K. Seville, U. Tüzün and R. Clift 'Particle Tech nol ogy' is a new sub ject facing new challenges. Chemical and pro - cess engineering is becoming less concerned with the design of plans to produce generic simple chemicals (which are often single phase fluids) and is now more concerned with speciality 'effect' chemicals which may often be in particulate form. Chemical and process engineers are also being recruited in increasing numbers into areas outside their traditional fields, such as the food industry, pharmaceuticals and the manufacture of a wide variety of consumer products. This book has been written to meet their needs. 372 pp. Guidelines for Safe Handling of Powders and Bulk Solids Center for Chemical Process Safety This book is intended to be a resource for process design and plant engineers who are responsible for designing and running processes handling powders. The main focus of the book is on the instability, reactivity and combustibility hazards of particulate solids manufactured or handled in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Toxicity hazards are also discussed.796 pp.
