Abstract

The article studies the final drying stage in the porous ammonium nitrate (PAN) production. Based on the analysis of the ammonium nitrate, authors propose to improve the scheme for the PAN production by introducing the final drying stage after humidification and heat treatment of PAN in a vortex granulator. The analysis of literature proposes a new design for the drying unit—a gravitational shelf dryer with vertical sectioning of the workspace. There is a theoretical and experimental description of the PAN granule heating and dehydration processes in a dryer. The studying results of the PAN granule surface morphology after the final drying stage are presented. Comparative indicators of the quality of PAN granules, obtained with using and without using the final drying stage, are given.
