Control of particulate processes: Recent results and future challenges

This paper provides a discussion of the existing results on control of particulate processes using population balance models and presents an overview of future research directions in this field in the context of chemical, materials and biological process systems.

Graphical abstractControl of particulate processes considers particle properties such as size, shape, degree of aggregation, composition homogeneity, degree and quality of particle coatings and functionalization. The control is achieved by manipulating particle formation and growth using population balance models and non-linear control.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
