Dryers products

Following carbonation, the product can be further purified by screening. This screening, also used to control the maximum size of the product, is followed by dewatering (qv). Rotary vacuum filters, pressure filters, or centrifuges are used in the mechanical removal of water. Final drying is accompHshed as with natural calcium carbonate in either a rotary, spray, or flash dryer. Products having mean particle sizes from submicrometers (- O-OS fiTo) to several micrometers are available.

If the feed flows countercurrent to the air, as is the case when drying granulated sugar, exhaust temperature does not respond to variations in product moisture. For these dryers, product moisture can better be regulated by controlling its temperature at the point of discharge. Conveyor-type dryers are usually divided into a number of zones, each separately heated with recirculation of air which raises its wet-bulb temperature. Only the last two zones may require indexing of exhaust-air temperature as a function of AT. 

The third heat transfer mechanism is radiation, examples of which are infrared and radio frequency dryers. Radiant heaters are often used as predryers, removing much of the moisture from wet fabric prior to entering the actual drying process (Fig. 2.14). Use of predryers minimises finish migration and increases dryer productivity since less water must be removed in the dryer. A more detailed description of drying methods and machines is given by Miles. ... 

Spray-dryers are simpler and more compact than conventional wet scrubbers and have a lower capital and operating cost. Also, they do not produce large quantities of wastewater, and the spent absorbent is dry, thereby eliminating the need for thickening and filtration of the sludge. However, if the same dust precipitator is used for both the fly-ash and fhe spray-dryer product, the mixture of fly-ash and spent absorbent that they produce is unmarketable, and must be disposed of. Also, they require more expensive absorbents than conventional wet scrubbers. They are most suitable for retrofitting small plants that burn medium-sulfur coals, where capital costs and space restrictions are more of a consideration. ... 

In everyday life we make extensive use of macroscopic devices, which are assemblies of components designed to achieve a specific function. Each component of the device performs a simple act, while the entire device performs a more complex function, characteristic of the assembly. For example, the function performed by a hair dryer (production of hot wind) is the result of acts performed by a switch, a heater, and a fan, suitably connected by electric wires and assembled in an appropriate framework (Fig. la). 

Increase in the pressure has been found to help produce a dryer product as the extraction of the liquid solvent to the supercritical phase takes place faster because of a higher solubility of the solvent in the CO. Eurthermore, as pressure increases, the atomisation of the solution produces smaller droplets and the drying time decreases.

Drying of liquid and pasty materials on the surface of heated inert particles is one of the newer drying techniques. The inert material serves not only as a carrier for the liquid film but also as a heat transfer medium. The size of the inert particles may be from 20 to 40 times larger than that of the dispersed material dried, which allows for higher gas velocity and thus increased dryer productivity. Moreover, intensive motion of the inert particles (e.g., in fluid or spouted beds) results in good dispersion of the liquid feed, so coarse spray nozzles can be used. As compared to the standard spray dryer, the use of a fluid bed of inert particles to dry slurries results in 15- to 17-fold higher volumetric ev oration rates under identical thermal conditions.

The simplest conveyor arrangement is to have a single conveyor to carry the product through the dryer. Figure 17.1 shows a typical arrangement for a single pass dryer. Product is distributed onto the conveyor at the feed end and conveyed through the dryer. Once...
