Abstract
The aim of this thesis comprises the study of three pulverized carbonates of different nature and physicochemical properties with a common objective: to increase their particle size in order to form a granulated product. The research work deals basically with the following issues: ⊗Characterization of the three different carbonates ⊗Investigation of the flow properties ⊗Behaviour under uniaxial pressure ⊗Analysis of binary mixtures ⊗Evaluation of the mechanical resistance ⊗Pilot scale roll-press experiments
