Drying Of Loose And Particulate Materials
This work furnishes students and practising engineers with a guide to the principles of industrial drying of particulate and loose solids and with advice on improved design procedures. The book focuses on those processes considered by the author to be the most effective in the current field.
Particulate Drying
In the process industry, understanding the unit operation of particulate drying is imperative to yield products with desired properties and characteristics and to ensure process safety, optimal energy efficiency and drying performance, as well as low environmental impact. There are many techniques and tools available, which can cause confusion. Particulate Drying: Techniques and Industry Applications provides an overview of various particulate drying techniques, their advantages and limitations, industrial applications, and simple design methods. This book: • Covers advances in particulate drying and their importance in the process industry • Highlights recent developments in conventional drying techniques and new drying technologies • Helps readers gain insight into selecting the appropriate drying techniques for a particular product • Summarizes various applications from a wide range of industries, including chemical, food, pharmaceutical, biotech, polymer, mineral, and agro-industries • Projects future research trends and demands in particulate drying This book serves as a reference for process and plant engineers as well as researchers in the fields of particulate processing, mineral processing, food processing, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering, especially those involved in the selection of drying equipment for particulate solids and R&D of drying of particulate materials.

Drying is fundamental step in the maufacture of many foods. Although its primary function is to remove appropriate quantities of moisture it is, in many cases, also responsible for imparting the characteristic qualities that distinguish one product from another. This book provides a fundamental understanding of moisture transport in the drying of foods and of the physical and chemical changes that occur during drying. A comprehensive description and assessment of the different types of dryers available to the industry are given and factors effecting the operation, control and selection of dryers are described. The combination of practical information supported by relevant theory makes this an essential volume for industrial food engineers, those involved in equipment manufacture, process plant design and new product development in all food sectors where dried foods are used. It will also be of interest to academic researchers in this aspect of food engineering.
