Abstract

ABSTRACT AIO(OH) suspension of high purity and fine particle size was dried in a Mechanically Spouted Bed (MSB) dryer with inert particles. During drying the maximum required moisture content and the mean particle size of the dried product had to be taken into consideration. Also another important aspect was to avoid contamination of the dried solid with metals. PTFE cylinders of 8 mm in diameter and of 8 mm in height were used as inert particles, and also the whole dryer itself was coated with teflon. As a result of the drying experiments the optimum values of the process parameters were used for scaling-up. The specific rate of evaporation in the drying zone of the inert bed was the basis of the calculations. The suspension with capacity of 125 kg/h was successfully dried in the designed industrial scale MSB dryer with inert panicles and the required quality of the material was produced.
