PARTICUOLOGY, an international bimonthly journal, is jointly sponsored by Chinese Society of Particuology and Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and 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, which covers all related branches of the physical sciences including mathematics and spans a wide range of industries to include chemical, petrochemical, agricultural, food, pharmaceutical, mineral processing, advanced materials, energy, and the environment.
This journal purports to present the best papers in research, engineering and application in the overall field of particuology, including particle characterization, particle preparation, aerosol, fluidization and ultra-fine particles, and ranging from the molecular level to the systems level. The Editors particularly welcome contributions on newly emerging topics that fall within the broad scope of particuology.
Core topics are: aerosol science and technology, colloids and colloid interface, nanotechnology, crystallization and precipitation, multiphase flow, granular flow, CFD, discrete element simulation, fluidization technology, bulk solids technology, material science and engineering, pharmaceutical and bio- and medical technology, soft matter, food, healthcare and personal-care products, food, coatings, ceramics, emulsions, filled and functional polymers, minerals, pigments, printable pastes, sensors and catalysts, modeling and simulation of particle systems, non-intrusive measurement, in-situ particle measurement, environmental system, multi-scale analysis, visualization.
Types of paper
All contributions should conform to the Aims and Scope shown at the front of the journal. In addition to full length papers of up to 5000 words, the Editors welcome reviews, correspondence and shorter communications of less than 2500 words dealing with novel research techniques, analysis of current research, new concepts, etc.
PARTICUOLOGY publishes only papers of the highest quality. All submitted papers, which meet our editorial criteria, are sent to referees familiar with the respective subjects for advice as to their eligibility for publication and needed improvement. The Editors make the final decision on publication in the light of such advice.
