    Drying of Solids

    This document discusses different types of dryers used for drying solids, including screw-conveyor dryers, fluid-bed dryers, and flash dryers. Screw-conveyor dryers use an enclosed screw conveyor to slowly convey solid materials through a heated zone to remove moisture. Fluid-bed dryers use air or gas to fluidize solid particles and allow for efficient drying. Flash dryers rapidly dry materials by suspending wet particles in a hot gas stream for only a few seconds.

    Screw-conveyor dryers
    A screw-conveyor dryers is a continuous indirect-heat dryer, consisting essentially of a horizontal
    screw conveyor (orpaddle conveyor) enclosed in a cylindrical jacketed shell.

    Screw-conveyor dryers handle solids that are too fine and too sticky for rotary dryers. They are
    completely enclosed and permit recovery of solvent vapors with little or no dilution by air.

    They are adaptable to the continuous removal and recovery of volatile solvents from solvent-wet
    solids, such as spent meal from leaching operations.
    Screw-conveyor dryers

    When greater length is required, several conveyors are set one above another in a bank.

    ● Solid fed in one end is conveyed slowly through the heated zone and discharges from the
    other end
    ● The shell is 75 to 600 mm (3 to 24 in) in diameter
    ● Up to 6 m (20 ft) long
    ● Rotation rate is from 2 to 30 rpm
    ● Heat-transfer coefficients are based on the entire inner surface of the shell
    ● The coefficient depends on the loading in the shell and on the conveyor speed, between 15
    and 60 W/m2 oC (3 and 10 Btu/ft2h°F)
    Fluid-bed dryers
    The particles are fluidized by air or gas in a
    boiling-bed unit.
    ● Wet feed is admitted to the top of the
    bed; dry product is taken out from the
    side, near the bottom.
    ● In the dryer there is a random
    distribution of residence times
    ● Small particles are heated essentially to
    the exit dry-bulb temperature of the
    fluidizing gas; consequently, thermally
    sensitive materials must be dried in a
    relatively cool suspending medium.

    Some rectangular fluid-bed dryers have separately fluidized


    compartments through which the solids move in sequence from inlet to
    outlet (plug flow dryers)
    Flash dryers
    In a flash dryer, a wet pulverized solid is transported for a few
    seconds in a hot gas stream.

    The rate of heat transfer from the gas to the suspended solid
    particles is high, and drying is rapid, so that no more than 3 or
    4 s is required to evaporate substantially all the moisture from
    the solid.

    Flash drying may therefore be applied to sensitive materials that


    in other dryers would have to be dried indirectly by a much
    cooler heating medium.
