Presents Drying Breakthroughs for an Array of Materials
Despite being one of the oldest, most energy-intensive unit
operations, industrial drying is perhaps the least scrutinized
technique at the microscopic level. Yet in the wake of today s
global energy crisis, drying research and development is on the
rise.
Following in the footsteps of the widely read first edition,
Advanced Drying Technologies, Second Edition is the direct outcome
of the recent phenomenal growth in drying literature and new drying
hardware. This edition provides an evaluative overview of new and
emerging drying technologies, while placing greater emphasis on
making the drying process more energy efficient in the green
age.
Draws on the Authors 60+ Years of Combined Experience
Fueled by the current energy crisis and growing consumer demand
for improved quality products, this thoroughly updated resource
addresses cutting-edge drying technologies for numerous materials
such as high-valued, heat-sensitive pharmaceuticals,
nutraceuticals, and some foods. It also introduces innovative
techniques, such as heat-pump drying of foods, which allow both
industrial practice and research and development projects to save
energy, reduce carbon footprints, and thus improve the bottom
line.
Four New Chapters:
- Spray-Freeze-Drying
- Fry Drying
- Refractance Window Drying
- Mechanical Thermal Expression
Requiring no prior knowledge of chemical engineering, this
single-source reference should assist researchers in turning the
laboratory curiosities of today into the revolutionary novel drying
technologies of tomorrow.
