Disadvantages of Rotary Atomizers Produce large quantities of fine particles, which can result in pollution control problems High capital cost Very expensive to maintain Cannot be used in horizontal dryers Difficult to use with highly viscous materials... 

Thin Film Evaporation Dryer (Vertical and Horizontal Dryer)... 

Nonstabilized foams are referred to as froths froth-bonded fabrics are similar in properties to some saturation-bonded nonwovens. Typical foams used as nonwoven binder solutions have a consistency similar to shaving cream. AppHcation methods include knife-edge layering onto a horizontal web surface followed by vacuum penetration, and saturation and penetration of a vertical web surface using a horizontal-nip pad. Drying and curing is carried out in ovens, dmm dryers, or steam cans. 

Spray Dryers A spray diyer consists of a large cyhndrical and usu ly vertical chamber into which material to be dried is sprayed in the form of small droplets and into which is fed a large volume of hot gas sufficient to supply the heat necessary to complete evaporation of the liquid. Heat transfer and mass transfer are accomphshed by direct contact of the hot gas with the dispersed droplets. After completion of diying, the cooled gas and solids are separated. This may be accomplished partially at the bottom of the diying chamber by classification and separation of the coarse dried particles. Fine particles are separated from the gas in external cyclones or bag collectors. When only the coarse-particle fraction is desired for fini ed product, fines may be recovered in wet scrubbers the scrubber liquid is concentrated and returned as feed to the diyer. Horizontal spray chambers are manufactured with a longitudinal screw conveyor in the bottom of the diying chamber for continuous removal of settled coarse particles.

After a chromatogram has been developed the TLC plate is removed from the developing chamber and the status quo is fixed by removing the mobile phase remaining in the layer as quickly as possible. This is properly performed in the fume cupboard so as not to contaminate the laboratory with solvent fumes. If possible the TLC plate should be laid horizontally because then as the mobile phase evaporates the separated substances will migrate evenly to the surface where they can be the more readily detected. A fan or hair dryer (hot or cold air stream)...
