Unfortunately many of these chemicals are in solid form which proves a challenge for
chemical engineers as it provides more problems over traditional liquid and gas based
products due to fundamentally different governing physics. Many of problems stem
from segregation of the final product where two solid components split from each other
during transport leading to poorly distributed mixtures which can pose hazards to the
quality of the produced product, and reduced performance in use. Problems also arise
due to low bulk densities and difficult flow characteristics which make these powder
products difficult to store and handle. These processing and material handling problems
that occur within industry can be solved by agglomeration enabling, an increased bulk
density product with a more free flowing nature and also less prone to segregation as
individual constituents are held together in the formed agglomerate.
