Spray Drying
Abstract
Spray drying involves both particle formation and drying, which makes it a special drying process. The feed is transformed from the fluid state into droplets and then into dried particles by spraying it continuously into a hot drying medium. Similar to fluid bed drying, flash drying, spray granulation, spray agglomeration, spray reaction, spray cooling, and spray absorption, spray drying is a suspended particle processing operation (Masters, 1991). The main differences between spray drying, fluidized bed drying and flash drying are the feed characteristics (fluid in spray drying versus solids); residence time (5 to 100 s for spray drying versus 1 to 300 min for fluidized bed) and particle size (10 to 500 pm for spray drying versus 10 to 3000 µm for fluidized bed).
