A method is provided for managing microporous and/or mesoporous and/or macroporous small particle adsorbent powders within a manufacturing process to minimize atmospheric dust. The adsorbent powder is processed by spray-drying to form larger diameter spherical particles. The larger diameter spherical particles are then dispersed in a controlled manner so as to be brought into intimate contact with a substrate. The resultant powder-and- substrate matrix is then subjected to an alternating electrical field (AEF) via an alternating power supply, thereby to reduce the spray-dried powder back to its original small particle state, whilst remaining in intimate contact with the substrate. |
