Towards more understanding of the particle dissolution process in the liquid

About the Project

Dissolution of the powder in a liquid is of highly importance for many industries such as food, pharma, fertilizers and many others. It affects the performance of the end products. For example, the time needed for the tablet to dissolve inside human body and for the fertilizer particles to dissolve in the field.

This project aims to more understanding of the dissolution process of the solid particles in the liquid. This will be carried out using an imaging technique that able to track the dissolution process online. Then building a model based on the images which describe the dissolution process.
