Sieving - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Understanding Size Separation in Pharmaceutical Processing

Size separation is a crucial unit operation in pharmaceutical manufacturing, involving the segregation of particles based on physical differences like size, shape, and density. This process, also known as sieving or screening, is essential for improving powder mixing, particle solubility, and stabil

Isolation of AM Fungi by Wet Sieving and Sucrose Gradient Methods

Wet sieving is a popular technique to isolate different sizes of spores from soil samples. Developed by Gerdemann and Nicolson in 1963, this method involves passing an aqueous suspension through different sieves to collect spores of varying sizes. The process includes agitating the soil-water mixtur

Methods of Separating Mixtures in Natural Sciences Grade 7

Separating mixtures is an essential part of studying matter and materials. Methods like hand sorting, sieving, and using a magnet are commonly used to separate substances based on physical properties. Hand sorting involves sorting by size, color, texture, and shape, while sieving uses sieves with di

Understanding Mixtures and Separation Methods

A mixture is a combination of ingredients that can be separated by various methods like sieving, filtering, and evaporation. Magnets are also used to separate magnetic objects. Sieving separates solid particles by size, while filtering separates tiny particles from liquids. Evaporation is used for s

Wet Granulation Technique Overview

Wet granulation is a pharmaceutical technique involving wet massing, wet screening, and drying in addition to the standard steps of direct compression. It includes mixing the drug, diluent, and disintegrant, wet massing with a binder, granulation through wet sieving, and drying. The process ensures

Aggregate Impact Test Procedure and Apparatus Overview

The aggregate impact test is conducted to assess the resistance to impact of aggregates. This involves filling a steel cup with aggregates, tamping them, and subjecting them to impacts from a standard weight hammer. The resulting crushed aggregate is sieved to determine the impact value. The detaile
