Front Cover Design Concept: Exploring the Mountain Range of Powder Technologies
Abstract
The cover image illustrates the concept of “Mountain Range of Powder Technologies”, originally propounded by Mr. Masuo Hosokawa, then President of Hosokawa Micron Corporation, who launched the publication of this KONA journal in 1983 to promote powder science and technology worldwide. The image was created using the latest AI technology, with pixels composed of various powder-related machines and equipment. The mountains symbolize individual powder unit operations—such as grinding, classification, mixing, drying, and characterization—interconnected through system engineering technologies. These operations are scaled up for practical applications across a broad spectrum of industrial sectors, environmental solutions, and related fields.
