There is no involvement of liquid during aggregation. Aggregation of salt grains resulting just because of change in surrounding conditions. The equipment having a closed chamber something similar to environmental chamber may be helpful. Anything that can help in characterization, studying the evolution or transport process involved during it.

Your first sentence states 'There is no involvement of liquid during aggregation'.
Hans Rumpf may disagree - capillary attraction and crystallizing salts are two of the main factors causing solid bridging and aggregation (paper 1962). References on slide 26 of the first webinar and the plot on slide 27. Registration needed to view the webinars.
