The packing properties of moist bulk solids

Abstract
The specific volumes of three bulk solids at moisture contents up to 50% w/w (dry basis) under various consolidating stresses have been shown to be dependent on the nature of the bulk solid. The values obtained can be related to the intraparticulate porosity and inherent cohesiveness of the dry materials. The influence of moisture on the packing properties and tensile strength of the three bulk solids is discussed in terms of the granulation process.
