Abstract

Moisture sensitive materials are agglomerated by a process that does not disrupt the structure of these materials. A first fraction of the moisture sensitive materials are coated with a hydrophylic binding agent foam and then contacted with the remaining materials. The agglomerated mixture is then dried to a final product moisture.
