Granulation, the process of particle enlargement by agglomeration technique, is one of the most significant unit operations in the production of pharmaceutical dosage forms, mostly tablets and capsules. Granulation process transforms fine powders into free-flowing, dust-free granules that are easy to compress. Nevertheless, granulation poses numerous challenges due to high quality requirement o...

Urea granulation is favored over prilling due to the problems associated with prilling. Tumbling agglomeration technique is employed in pan granulator. Product with wide size range can be produced by playing with only few parameters like binders (water and urea solution), ratio of binders, rpm of pan, granulation time and angle of inclination. Urea granulation is studied at laboratory scale usi...

In this paper, we discuss the potential applications of data mining techniques for the design of Web based information retrieval support systems (IRSS). In particular, we apply clustering methods for the granulation of different entities involved in IRSS. Two types of granulations, single-level and multi-level granulations, are investigated. Issues of document space granulation, query space gra...

The objective of the present investigation was to design suitable Immediate release tablet formulation of Aceclofenac by using cross carmellose sodium as super-disintegrant in four different concentrations i.e., 0, 4, 6, 8% w/w of tablet weight by two granulation methods i.e., Wet and melt granulation methods. The objective of the research was to compare the two granulation methods i.e., wet an...

Data granulation is considered a good tool of decision making in various types of real life applications. The basic ideas of data granulation have appeared in many fields, such as interval analysis, quantization, rough set theory, Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions, divide and conquer, cluster analysis, machine learning, databases, information retrieval, and many others. Some new topolo...

This study was performed to investigate the different methods of treating hyper granulation tissue on experimentally induced wounds in equine limbs. Wounds were induced by removal of a skin patch and subcutaneous tissue for about 5-7 cm width and 6-8 cm in length from the dorsal and lateral aspect of the fore and hind limbs below the carpal and tarsal joints. The wounds were left open without t...

Size enlargement of fine powders by wet granulation involves mixing of fine particles with a binder liquid to form larger wet granules and drying them by evaporation of the binder liquid to form larger dry granules. Identification of the time for completion of granulation process is critical as further mixing of dry granules is providing extra energy for their attrition. In a batch fluidized be...

Biogranulation has been studied widely and successfully industrialized for the last two decades. Biogranulation technology for wastewater treatment includes anaerobic and aerobic granulation processes. Even though anaerobic granulation has been relatively well studied and known, studies on aerobic granulation have begun recently. The aerobic granular sludge is known to have denser and stronger ...
