Abstract

Powder characterization is a crucial process in material science and engineering, helping to determine the physical and chemical properties of powders used in various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, ceramics, and metallurgy. Understanding the behavior of powders is essential for optimizing production processes, improving product quality, and ensuring safety. This article reviews the different techniques and methods employed for powder characterization, including particle size analysis, surface area measurement, powder flowability testing, and compaction studies. Furthermore, it highlights the applications of powder characterization in different sectors and emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate characterization method to meet specific product requirements.
