Abstract

See full text

A continuous process wherein a material is melt processed and subsequently pelletized, transported, optionally chemically and/or physically modified, and subsequently optionally defluidized utilizing fluidic processing. The transport fluids and fluid combinations utilize a wide range of process temperatures facilitating enhancement of conditioning, improvement of moisture content, pelletization of hygroscopic, water-sensitive, and water-soluble materials, pelletization of non-polymeric and rheologically non-shear sensitive and marginally shear-sensitive polymeric materials, modification of pellet components through extraction, pelletization of low melting materials, tacky materials, pellet coating, and pellet impregnation otherwise difficult and challenging using conventional technologies.
