Real-Time Monitoring of Powder Mixing in a Convective Blender Using Non-Invasive Reflectance NIR Spectrometry
Contributor(s):: Bellamy, L. J., Littlejohn, D., Nordon, A.
A convective blender based on a scaled down version of a high shear mixer-granulator was used to produce binary mixtures of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel) and aspirin, citric acid, aspartame or povidone. Spectra of stationary Avicel or aspirin powder provided an indication of the information...
