6th International Workshop organized by WFCFD on 16th to 18th February 2012 |
|
6th WFCFD Workshop on Crystallization, Filtration, Drying, Milling and Granulation from 16th to 18th February 2012 at K. V. Auditorium, ICT, Matunga, Mumbai. Every year we keep on adding the latest development in the area of Crystallization Filtration and Drying. Besides, the fundamental knowledge on these subjects, its practical side will be very well covered by some of world's leading experts in this area.
One of the major highlight of this event is a special session on the state of art in powder/particle handling which includes Milling, Combinatorial Milling & Drying in single equipment, the very upcoming topic of solids granulation and compaction. These topics will be covered by some of the most experienced speakers from Hosokawa Micron, Hosokawa Alpine and Hosokawa Bepex. |

Professor Mike Doherty |
|
Professor Mike Doherty is a world renowned expert in the separation processes in particular the Crystallization of organic materials. The main focus of his research is the study of the effect of process design and operation on crystal quality for organic solid processes. Professor Doherty and his research group has developed certain techniques to account for solution effect, crystal shape, as well as enantiomorph and polymorph selection in the conceptual design of solids processes. Apart from consultants to Dow Chemicals, Aventis and many others he is author of many books including Reactive Distillation |
