Nanoparticles are considered as important raw materials for future nanotechnology applications. However, they are difficult to handle during production and processing due to their small sizes. Spray‐drying or granulation is an established industrial process for size enlargement of fine particles. In addition, it has the capacity to produce uniformly micron‐sized spherical particles. In this communication the authors report on packaging of flame‐made and sol‐gel made titania nanoparticles, that were spray dried into micron size granules.
