Fluidized bed granulation of an ordered powder mixture

The phenomenon of ordered unit segregation is of paramount importance in determining the homogeneity of an ordered mixture. This problem can be avoided by using a monodisperse carrier, but it is uneconomic. The fluidized bed granulation of a 0.1% ordered mixture has been studied as a method of reducing the effects of segregation. The ordered units were stable when fluidized and no significant loss of the microfine adsorbed material occurred during processing. The distribution of the minor component in the granules was significantly more uniform than in the original ordered mixtures. The demixing potential
