Abstract
Results are presented of experimental investigations into the high-temperature drying of lowland peat in an atmosphere of superheated steam under pressure. The influence on shrinkage, drying kinetics and the associated thermal decomposition of the peat of the parameters of the drying agents and the basic characteristics of the moist material is examined.
