Research training in powder technology for competitive manufacture of food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and biological powders

Obiettivo

Many ingredients, intermediates and final products are produced in powder form. Many of these powders, such as food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and biochemical powders, are "biopowders", that is they contain molecules of biological origin (e.g. proteins , lipids, carbohydrates) and/or contain molecules that are biologically active. The driving motivation behind this project is that knowledge of powder processes lags far behind that of liquid and gas processes, and there remains a great many practical prob lems that the current stae-of-the-art cannot address effectively. A major bottleneck in advancing powder technology and its application to biopowders is a serious lack of human resources in terms of engineers and scientists that have a good understanding o f powders and powder processing. There is a real need for education, training and research in powder technology to help reduce the human resource deficit that is a prerequisite for the advancement and industrial application of powder technology. The projec t will train early-stage researchers (ESRs) in powder technology and research management, conduct research that will help tackle industrial problems and develop more efficient powder processes, and will foster research collaboration, both within the RTN an d to the wider community, that will convert ideas into reality. The primary vehicles for implementing this project are through the implementation of 13 PhD projects, 5 RTN meetings and a RTN website for disseminating the activities of the RTN. The RTN meet ings will be of 4 to 8 day duration. They will consist of formal courses, RTN participant meetings and mini-conferences. The mini-conferences will act as a vehicle for knowledge-transfer, whereby invited speakers from within the RTN and outside as well as the ESRs will make presentations on topics that they have expertise in, which has direct relevance to industry.
