The salt quality was studied by dewatering methods such as centrifugal hydro extraction, fixed bed dryer, and rotary drum dryer. effect of different particle sizes also analyzed. extractor is found to be effective when reducing the high-water content suitable for water after wash stage. Fixed dryers produce lower than dryers. A 1% can achieved using Finally, all extractors, dryers, are producti...

Different methods have been applied to recycle pistachio’s green hulls, the most important of which are siloing and drying pistachio hulls (using industrial dryers). In both methods, hulls should lose their initial moisture content, which constitutes a considerable portion of their weight. The high moisture content takes more time and energy during the drying process. The initial dewateringof h...

The effect of various humidities on process yields and degrees of crystallinity for spray-dried powders from spray drying of lactose with humid air in a straight-through system have been studied. It has been suggested by Williams–Landel–Ferry kinetics (WLF) that a higher particle temperature and lower glass-transition temperature would increase the crystallization rate of the particles during t...

This article presents an investigation of the potential of spray and spouted bed technology for the production of dried extracts of Rosmarinus officinalis Linné, popularly known as rosemary. The extractive solution was characterized by loss on drying, extractable matter and total phenolic and flavonoid compounds (chemical markers). The product was characterized by determination of loss on dryin...

We present a technique for fabricating hydrophobic drug nanoparticles using a microfluidic spray dryer. The nanoparticles are formed by evaporative precipitation of the spray in air at room temperature. Using danazol as a model drug, amorphous nanoparticles are yielded with narrow size distribution, 20-60 nm in diameter. As the device geometry allows us to inject two separate solvent streams, t...

Model based tools allow optimizing the freeze-drying of a pharmaceutical formulation in a specific freeze-dryer, thus minimizing the duration of the process, beside maintaining product temperature below a limit value to preserve product quality. This paper is focused on the comparison of the results that can be obtained optimizing the process either off-line, using the design space of the formu...

year. Other than continued replenishment of aquifers in the southeast, Australia reversed course from 2010, becoming wetter in the west and dryer in the northeast. Drought in equatorial Africa and recovery from drought in the Indochinese peninsula also stand out. Aquifers in central California (Famiglietti et al. 2011) and northern India (Rodell et al. 2009; Tiwari et al. 2009), which are stres...
