• Effect of impeller design on homogeneity, size and strength of pharmaceutical granules produced by high-shear wet granulation 

  Mangwandi, Chirangano; Mirza, Zakaria; Liu, Jiang T.; Glocheux, Yoann (Elsevier, 2015)

  Small mixer impeller design is not tailored for granulation because impellers are intended for a wide range of processes. The aim of this research was to evaluate the performances of several impellers to provide guidance ...
• Thermo-mechanical properties of poly ε-caprolactone/poly L-lactic acid blends: addition of nalidixic acid and polyethylene glycol additives 

  Douglas, P.; Albadarin, Ahmad B.; Al-Muhtaseb, Ala’a H.; Mangwandi, Chirangano; Walker, Gavin M. (Elsevier, 2015)

  The search for ideal biomaterials is still on-going for tissue regeneration. In this study, blends of poly ε-caprolactone (PCL) with poly l-lactic acid (PLLA), nalidixic acid (NA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were prepared. ...
• Design, production and characterisation of granular adsorbent material for arsenic removal from contaminated wastewater 

  Mangwandi, Chirangano; Suhaimi, Siti N.A.; Liu, Jiang T.; Dhenge, Ranjit M.; Albadarin, Ahmad B. (Elsevier, 2016)

  The objective of this research was to design granulated iron oxide for the adsorption of heavy metals from wastewater. Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) was chosen as a suitable binder; as it is water insoluble. Initial experiments ...
• Investigation of influence of process variables on mechanical strength, size and homogeneity of pharmaceutical granules produced by fluidised hot melt granulation 

  Mangwandi, Chirangano; Zainal, N.A.; Liu, Jiang T.; Glocheux, Yoann; Albadarin, Ahmad B. (Elsevier, 2015)

  The overall aim of the project was to study the influence of process variables on the distribution of a model active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) during fluidised melt granulation of pharmaceutical granules with a view ...
• High shear granulation of binary mixtures: effect of powder composition on granule properties 

  Mangwandi, Chirangano; Liu, Jiang T.; Albadarin, Ahmad B.; Dhenge, Ranjit M.; Walker, Gavin M. (Elsevier, 2015)

  The granular product being designed in this work required the use of two different powders namely limestone and teawaste; these materials have different bulk and particle densities. The overall aim of the project was to ...
