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.
Reviews / Votes
Praise for the First Edition:"... summarizes in a capsule form the rapidly evolving technological developments in drying that academic researchers as well as the industrial practitioners must be aware of on a continuing basis to be at the forefront. ... well-written and neatly edited so the presented technologies can be followed easily ..."
-Czelsaw Strumillo, Ph.D., D. Sc., Lodz Technical University, Poland, in Drying Technology
"... its second edition is the direct outcome of the recent growth in drying literature and new drying hardware. ...an evaluative overview of the new and emerging technologies in drying, which is not readily accessible in the conventional literature ... thoroughly updated edition ... The authors attempt to provide the reader with a review of the key developments that have taken place in the past two decades. ... includes knowledge not easily accessible to most readers... well written and very neatly edited, so the text can be followed easily by experts, students as well as novices to drying in academia and industry. The content is interesting and useful for numerous specialists, including chemical, mechanical, mineral, ceramics, food, environmental, pharmaceutical and other engineers. I highly recommend this book for acquisition by libraries and individuals involved in drying and allied areas. For young faculty members seeking new challenging ideas for research, this book is a goldmine of new concepts worth pursuing at the fundamental level and improving them to the next stage...."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
