Cover Story: Particle aggregation is essential in many industrial processes, spanning the pharmaceutical and food industries, polymer production, environmental remediation, etc. Moreover, aggregation can also occur in some processes as a non-desired side effect. Therefore, monitoring aggregation in industrial processes is highly important to guarantee that the required product characteristics are obtained. In this paper, we present an extensive review of the techniques available for monitoring particle characteristics in industrial processes involving particulate materials, with a special focus on aggregation processes. Offline and online techniques are addressed based on image acquisition or radiation scattering techniques. The principles behind each technique and their relevant applications, advantages, and disadvantages are described. View this paper
