Journal Guide

Particuology, an international bimonthly journal, is jointly sponsored by the Chinese Society of Particuology and the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is published by Elsevier B. V. and Science Press.The word Particuology was coined to parallel the technical terminology for the science and technology of particles by combining the Latin prefix particula for particles and the Greek suffix logia denoting subject of study. Particuology is built upon all related branches of the physical sciences (especially physics and chemistry) and mathematics, and connects their fundamental laws to engineering particle systems, spanning a wide range of chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, functional materials, and human activities dealing with energy and the environment.This Journal purports to present the best papers in research, engineering and application in the overall field of Particuology, ranging from the molecular level to the system level, including:Particle characterization and measurement;Particle preparation, synthesis and modification;Granular system and bulk solids technology;Fluidization and particle-fluid system;Aerosol;Applications of particle technology.The editors particularly welcome contributions on newly emerging topics that fall within the broad scope of Particuology.
