Evaporation drying versus

Figure 10.16. Illustration of the densification occurring during evaporative drying of polyurethane gels xerogel (left) versus aerogel (right). Both samples come from gels synthesized with pentaerythritol in solution of DMSO and etac with a volume fraction of DMSO >0.3. Diameters of the xerogel and the aerogel are 3 and 5 cm, respectively.

When a solid is dried experimentally, data relating moisture content to time are usually obtained. These data are then plotted as moisture content (dry basis) W versus time 0, as shown in Fig. 12-41 7, This curve represents the general case when a wet sohd loses moisture first by evaporation from a saturated surface on the sohd, followed in turn by a period of evaporation from a saturated surface of gradually decreasing area, ancf finally, when the latter evaporates in the interior of the solid. 

Hydrogen was introduced into a standard hydrogenation vessel containing 10 grams 6-deoxy-6-demethyl-6-methylene-5-oxytetracycline hydrochloride (methacycline), 150 ml methanol and 5 grams 5% rhodium on carbon. The pressure was maintained at 50 psi while agitating at room temperature for 24 hours. The catalyst was then filtered off, the cake washed with methanol and the combined filtrates were evaporated to dryness. The dry solids were slurried in ether, filtered and the cake dried. The resulting solids exhibited a bioactivity of 1,345 units per mg versus K. pneumoniae. 

There are two main processes for clinker production a so-called wet process and a dry process. In the dry process the alkali raw materials are introduced in dry form into the kiln. In the wet process, these materials are introduced in the form of a slurry. Among other things, the type of process depends on the source of the kiln s raw materials. If a kihi extracts alkali raw materials from lakes then a choice for a wet process is logical, despite the disadvantage of its rather high energy use (5,000 MJ/toime versus 3,600 MJ/toime clinker), as in the dry process no water has to be evaporated. 

El-Brashy [51] reported the determination of primaquine and other antimalarials via charge-transfer complexes. Powdered sample of primaquine phosphate was dissolved in water and the solution was adjusted to an alkaline pH with 6 M ammonia and extracted with chloroform. The extract was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to dryness under nitrogen and the residue was dissolved in acetonitrile. Portions of the solution were mixed with 0.2% 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane, diluted with acetonitrile, and set aside for 10 min before the absorbance was measured at 845 nm versus a reagent blank. The calibration graphs were linear from 0.4 to 3 pg/mL and recovery was 98%. 

The program is written with two logical control variable flags, one takes the value of 1.0 to control the surface evaporation and the other a value of 1.0 to start the diffusional drying process. Array notation for the number of solid segments is used to allow plotting the concentration versus distance at any desired time. 

It was apparent from the very earliest tests that control of thin moisture films on the surface of reactive particles was the key to success. The main three competing arrangements, as compared by Statnick et al. [4th Annual Pitt. Coal Conf. 1987)] involved slurry spray dryers, where lime and water were injected together, versus systems where the gas was humidified by water injection before or after injection of limey dry powder reagents. It turns out that there are tradeoffs among the costs of hardware, reagent, and water dispersion and reagent purchase and disposal. Systems where water evaporates in the presence of active particles are usually less expensive overall.

The resulting solution is again distilled and 150 ml of distillate are collected. The distillate is acidified with 3 ml of 3 M sulfuric acid and 25 g of sodium sulfate. The mixture is redistilled and 100 ml of distillate are collected. To one half of the distillate are added 5 ml of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide. The solution is reduced electrochemically to the amine at a mercury cathode at -1.8 V versus the saturated calomel electrode for 1 h. The two portions of the distillate are then acidified with 1 ml of 2 M hydrochloric acid and are evaporated to dryness. To each dry residue are added 1.5 ml of 1% sodium tetraborate and 0.2 ml of 3% DNFB in dioxane. The reaction mixture is heated at 60 °C for 25 min, after which 0.2 ml of 2 M sodium hydroxide is added and the mixture is heated for another 15 min. After cooling, the solution is shaken vigorously with 1 ml of cyclohexane. The organic layer is then extracted with three 2-ml volumes of 0.1 M sodium bicarbonate and the extracts are used for chromatography. The difference in results obtained with and without reduction are taken as indicative of the presence of nitrosamines.

The droplet has a relatively short residence time (on the order of seconds) in the spray dryer, which minimizes the degradation of heat-sensitive components. In addition, the drug is exposed to a temperature much lower than that at the drying inlet owing to the cooling effect of the solvent evaporation. Control of droplet residence time and the lower temperature defines the amorphous versus crystalline nature of the material.
