Slurry drying process

A variation of the n on regen erabi e absorption is the spray dry process. Time slurry is sprayed through an atomizing nozzle into a tower where it countercurtendy contacts the flue gas. The sulfur dioxide is absorbed and water in the slurry evaporated as calcium sulfite-sulfate collects as a powder at the bottom of the tower. The process requires less capital investment, but is less efficient than regular scmbbing operations. 

A blending system provides the kiln with a homogeneous raw feed. In the wet process the mill slurry is blended in a series of continuously agitated tanks in which the composition, usually the CaO content, is adjusted as required. These tanks may also serve as kiln feed tanks, or the slurry after agitation is pumped to large kiln feed basins. Dry-process blending is usually accompHshed in a silo with compressed air. 

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. 

Sodium hydrosulfite is produced through the Formate process where sodium formate solution, sodium hydroxide, and liquid sulfur dioxide reacted in the presence of a recycled stream of methanol solvent. Other products are sodium sulfite, sodium bicarbonate, and carbon monoxide. In the reactor, sodium hydrosulfite is precipitated to form a slurry of sodium hydrosulfite in the solution of methanol, methyl formate, and other coproducts. The mixture is sent to a pressurized filter system to recover sodium hydrosulfite crystals that are dried in a steam-heated rotary drier before being packaged. Heat supply in this process is highly monitored in order not to decompose sodium hydrosulfite to sulfite. Purging is periodically carried out on the recycle stream, particularly those involving methanol, to avoid excessive buildup of impurities. Also, vaporized methanol from the drying process and liquors from the filtration process are recycled to the solvent recovery system to improve the efficiency of the plant. 

The typical flavour load of a spray-dried product amounts to 18-25%. Besides the drying process, the flavour components are also encapsulated in the carrier matrix. After the slurry has been atomised , all volatile components, including water, which are located at the surface of the droplet are immediately evaporated. Thereby the remaining carrier substance forms a membrane around the droplet. This membrane is semipermeable and inhibits further evaporation of flavour molecules. This production step is controlled by diffusion mechanisms. Water as a molecule with a small molecular size can pass through the membrane, while the larger flavour molecules are not able to permeate it. 

The processing of natural iron oxide pigments depends on their composition. They are either washed, slurried, dried, ground, or dried immediately and then ground in ball mills, or more often in disintegrators or impact mills. 

Zinc electrodes for secondary silver-zinc batteries are made by one of three general methods the dry-powder process, the slurry-pasted process, or the electroformed process The active material used in any of the processes for the manufacture of electrodes is a finely divided zinc oxide powder, USP grade 12. 

In a spray drier the raw material slurry is nebulized. Hot air is blown into the spray drier tower In the opposite direction. The moisture from the droplets of the nebulized slurry evaporates and the product of this drying process, the spray dry granulate, consists of little soft balls of nearly equal size. Together with the air, granulate can also be drained off. After that it is intercepted in a so-called cyclone separator.

In the grinding of raw materials, two processes are used the dry process in which the materials are dried to less than 1 percent moisture and then ground to a fine powder, and the wet process in which the grinding takes place with addition of water to the mills to produce a slurry. The two processes are used about equally in the United States.
