Drying moisture removal

STPD Standard temperature (0 C) and pressure (1 atm), dry (moisture removed). 

Phosphorus Pentoxide. This compound, P2O55 (Class 1, nonregenerative) is made by burning phosphoms ia dry air. It removes water first by adsorptioa, followed by the formation of several forms of phosphoric acid (2). Phosphoms peatoxide [1314-56-3] has a high vapor pressure and should only be used below 100°C. Its main drawback is that as moisture is taken up, the surface of the granules becomes wetted and further moisture removal is impeded. For this reason, phosphoms pentoxide is sometimes mixed with an iaert material (see Phosphoric acids and phosphates). 

Another deep-bed spiral-activated solids-transport device is shown by Fig. ll-60e. The flights cany a heat-transfer medium as well as the jacket. A unique feature of this device which is purported to increase heat-transfer capability in a given equipment space and cost is the dense-phase fluidization of the deep bed that promotes agitation and moisture removal on drying operations. 

Vapors (from drying) are removed at the feed end of the dtyer to the atmosphere through a natural-draft stack and settling chamber or wet scrubber. When employed in simple drying operations with 3.5 X 10 to 10 X 10 Pa steam, draft is controlled by a damper to admit only sufficient outside air to sweep moisture from the cylinder, discharging the air at 340 to 365 K and 80 to 90 percent saturation. In this way, shell gas velocities and dusting are minimized. When used for solvent recovery or other processes requiring a sealed system, sweep gas is recirculated throu a scrubber-gas cooler and blower. 

French fries are made from potatoes that have been cut into thin strips (around 1 cm square in cross-section), washed briefly in cold water, partly dried to remove surface moisture and deep fired in vegetable oil at around 180°C to a light golden color. The final product comprises around 10% fat, most of which is retained on the surface. Frozen fry manufacturers ship their products raw, par-fried, or partially cooked and drizzled with oil for baking, to suit the end user. The product is frozen at —40°C and stored at —20°C. Moisture content needs to be less than 70% in par-fried fries to prevent limpness and separation of the interior and the cmst. Heterogeneity in moisture content between strips can result in variability in texture. Fr5dng is finished by immersing the frozen product in deep fat at about 200°C until the desired color and texture are achieved. 

After soaking the powder is dried to remove moisture together with some of the residual solvent. Drying at a temperature of 55° requires 4-160 hr depending upon the web thickness of the powder (the duration of drying is given for a drying house with natural air circulation). 

The drying column removes carbon dioxide, moisture, and some of the other by-products which are formed. The product which is collected is nearly pure, and the redistillation completes the purification. 

Moisture in coal takes three forms (l)free or adherent moisture, essentially surface water (2) physically bound or inherent moisture (thai moisture held by vapor pressure and other physical processes) and (3) chemically bound water (water of hydration or combined" water). The ASTM defines total moisture as a loss in weight in an air atmosphere under rigidly controlled conditions of temperature, time, and air flow. Total moisture represents a measurement of all water not chemically combined. Total moisture is determined by a two-slep procedure, involving air-drying for removal of surface moisture from the gross sample, division and reduction of Ihc gross sample, and determination of residual moisture in the prepared sample. An algebraic calculation is used to obtain the total moisture value. 

Some energy recovery systems require drying to remove excess moisture in the waste. This is required when sewage sludge is used as a fuel. Usually, waste heat from the total process can be used for the drying system. 

Free moisture (surface moisture) coal moisture removed by air drying under standard conditions approximating atmospheric equilibrium a collection of bubbles and particles on the surface of a pulp in a froth flotation cell (ASTM D-5114). 

Hydrogen fluoride may be removed from fluorine by absorption over dry potassium fluoride or sodium fluoride or by passing the gas through a trap cooled with liquid oxygen. Probably the latter method is most effective. If one of the salts is used, it is necessary that it should be pure and dry. Moisture introduces oxygen into the fluorine, whereas chlorides will lead to contamination of the fluorine with chlorine.

We worked with a variety of synthetic silicates and their modifications by various physical or chemical treatments or by various chemical additives. We particularly evaluated many synthetic hydrated calcium silicates, with and without additional treatments. These treatments included various organic and inorganic acid compounds, organic surface-active agents, and inorganic salts. We also studied samples dried to remove free moisture and/or some water of hydration. The modifications were selected to effect favorably the properties of the carriers.
