    Abstract: The knowledge of bulk properties and densification behavior of Spent
    Coffee Ground (SCG) powders can be useful in handling such powders through the
    typical processing units of the soluble coffee industries. In this paper we
    measured the bulk densities of SCG mixtures with mean sizes from 225 to 550 μm as a
    function of tapping and tested a number of selected equations to predict the
    densification behavior of these mixtures. Densification kinetics of SCG powders was
    found to be overwhelmingly driven by the mass fraction of fines in the mixture. The
    equations proposed by Kawakita and Ludde (1971), Knight et al. (1995) and Mallol et
    al. (2008) predicted well the variation of bulk density of SCG powders throughout
    tapping. Nevertheless, the Kawakita and Ludde's equation is recommended as the most
    suitable because the fitted parameters in this equation could be correlated to the
    powders' mean size and Hausner ratio. Besides, three methods to predict the
    densification curves were proposed. In the first method, the powders' mean diameter
    is used to predict the densification kinetics and in the second the angle of repose
    and the loose bulk density of the samples are used. Finally, the third method is
    based on coupling the densification equation to the Modified Linear-Mixture Packing
    Model. The three approaches led to predictions of bulk density with deviations <10%
    in comparison to the experimental data and can be recommended to estimate the
    densification kinetic behavior of industrial SCG powders.
