A thermal imaging camera monitors the temperature different zones in a pharmaceutical process such as ribbon compaction, coating, spray drying, fluid bed drying, high shear wet granulation, crystallization, lyophilization, precipitation, fermentation, and low dosage dispensing of a pharmaceutically active liquid. The thermal imaging camera can be used to produce a visual display of a temperature profile, or a spray pattern. In addition, feedback from the thermal imaging camera is used to control one or more processing parameters.

A measuring unit 13 is provided inside a rotary drum 11. The measuring unit 13 is provided with a light transmitting member 13 a and an optical sensor 13 b that are provided at the central region on the inner wall of the other end portion 11 b. When particles are subjected to a coating treatment, information as to the properties (such as the coating thickness, the moisture, the coating performance, and the impurity) of the particles of a particle layer A being brought into contact with the surface of the light transmitting member 13 a is measured on a real-time basis by the NIR sensor 13 b via the light transmitting member 13 a. The data is processed by the processing unit of the NRI spectroscopic analyzer to thereby perform monitoring. By appropriately adjusting the coating operation conditions (such as the supplied air volume, the supplied air temperature, the spraying condition, and the rotation speed of the rotary drum 1 ) by feedback control or a manual operation according to the result, it becomes possible to perform the coating treatment of high quality.

A spherical tungsten carbide powder is characterized by that the material has a microhardness higher than 3600 kgf/mm 2 , and that the powder has an apparent density from 9.80 to 11.56 g/cm 3 . A method for the manufacture of a powder comprises the steps: a) providing a chamber comprising a rotatable crucible, b) adding material into said rotatable crucible, c) melting the material using a plasma arc discharge, d) rotating the crucible to atomize the molten material to form liquid droplets, with subsequent cooling of the droplets to obtain a powder, wherein the material added into said rotatable crucible is heated to a temperature above 40% of the melting temperature of the material before it enters the crucible. It is possible to reduce the current required for melting the stock. Heat losses are decreased, and the spherical powder obtained during atomization becomes more homogeneous in its composition and structure. The cost is reduced.

The present invention refers to an agglomeration drum and to a procedure for the agglomeration of mineral inside said drum for the pretreatment of minerals, both of them mainly used in hydrometallurgy. Said drum and procedure use a system and a phase of recirculation of gases as part of the invention. Additionally, in the agglomeration procedure the process of chemical reactions occurring inside the agglomeration drum is included. The agglomeration drum, agglomeration procedure and the reactive process allow to obtaining uniform, stable and poorly degradable agglomerates that have a bigger agglomerate-reagent contact surface. The agglomerates or aggregates produced in the agglomeration drum and according to the process of the invention increase the extractive yield of the later leaching process thus reducing the creation of preferred ways for the leaching solution in the leaching piles. In addition, the drum and procedure of the invention allow preventing the release of gases to the environment, having a gas recirculation system, which by being closed keeps gases inside the agglomeration drum and process. This recirculation of gases not only allows preventing the release of said gases to the environment, but it also reduces the operating costs by using the recirculated gases as part of the agglomeration process. 1.
