Analysis of factors affecting the mean sizes of granules produced from ternary mixtures of powders

Abstract

Multiple linear regression analysis has been used to relate the mean sizes of granules prepared from ternary mixtures of powders to such physical properties as particle size, solubility and wettability and to processing variables such as the amount of binder and the proportions of the different components. The major influences on granule size were the amount of binder and the affinity of the third component for the binder liquids.
