Granulation of diammonium phosphate in a drum granulator-drier

Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

The feasibility of using a drum granulator-drier (DGD) in the production of granular fertilizers is examined. The performance of an essentially new tube reactor (TR)-DGD unit is investigated. The optimum ratio of parameters-the temperature of the heat-transfer medium, the length of the flare, and the moisture content and dispersivity of the slurry, which ensure equalization of the grain-size distribution of the product-is determined.
