101 HIGH-TEMPERATURE SPRAY DRYING PROCESS AND APPARATUS US13825770 2011-09-22 US20130193598A1 2013-08-01 Dwayne T. Friesen; David D. Newbold; John M. Baumann; Devon B. DuBose; Douglas L. Millard
The process comprises delivering a spray solution comprising at least one solute in a solvent to a spray-drying apparatus, using a flash nozzle to atomize the spray solution into droplets within the spray-drying apparatus to remove at least a portion of the solvent from the droplets to form a plurality of particles, and collecting the particles. The spray solution is directed to a heat exchanger, thereby increasing the temperature of the spray solution to a temperature T2, wherein T2 is greater than T1. The flash nozzle comprises a central tube through which the spray solution is delivered and an outer tube through which a sweep gas is delivered. The central tube may have a first outer diameter at an inlet and a second outer diameter at an outlet, wherein the first outer diameter is greater than the second outer diameter.

A continuous length of material of non-circular cross-section is pelletized to form discrete bits, by feeding the material to a cutting wheel with shaped cutters that form non-planar bits having non-circular axial projections and that are aligned with the material. The material is fed so as to maintain a rotational orientation with respect to the cutters, and so as to avoid buckling. Multiple banks of strands of material are severed simultaneously, thereby producing high volumes of shaped bits that are useful as filling and as filter material, and as friction-enhancing additives.

A process for producing a biopolymer nanoparticles product is disclosed. In this process, biopolymer feedstock and a plasticizer are fed to a feed zone of an extruder having a screw configuration in which the feedstock is process using shear forces in the extruder, and a crosslinking agent is added to the extruder downstream of the feed zone. The biopolymer feedstock and plasticizer are preferably added separately to the feed zone. The screw configuration may include two or more steam seal sections. Shear forces in a first section of the extruder may be greater than shear forces in an adjacent second section of the extruder downstream of the first section. In a post reaction section located after a point in which the crosslinking reaction has been completed, water may be added to improve die performance.

The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for forming molten drops of precursors of thermoplastic polyesters or copolyesters as molten monomer, oligomer, monomer/glycol mixture or after partial polycondensator [sic] and melting to give a molten precursor, in which the precursor formed into drops is introduced into a gaseous medium, and the gaseous medium, after entry of the precursor formed into drops into the gaseous medium, accelerates the crystallization process by holding the drop-form precursor at a temperature above 100° C. and below its melting point for a limited time until crystallization of the drop at the surface of the precursor is complete. To this end, the apparatus has a fall tower, through which the gaseous medium flows in countercurrent from bottom to top, while the drops fall in the vertical direction from top to bottom into a collecting funnel with a precrystallized surface.

109 Agglomerating and drying apparatus US267192 1999-03-12 US6143221A 2000-11-07 I. Macit Gurol
Apparatus for agglomerating and drying particulate material, including an agglomerator (4) for forming and discharging wet granules of a predetermined size or smaller, and a dryer (12). The agglomerator utilizes a rotary blade assembly (100) that repeatedly impacts and cuts the wet mixture of material to be agglomerated, which is forced radially outward through the blade assembly under centrifugal and air pressure force. Wet granules pass through an annular screen (104) where they reach a predetermined maximum size. The dryer has an inlet (50) for wet granules from the agglomerator, an outlet (78) for granules having passed through the dryer, and one or more baffles (64) within the dryer defining a spiral path through which the granules pass from the dryer inlet towards the dryer outlet. The baffles are configured such that their pitch increases with distance from the dryer inlet, whereby the cross-sectional area of the spiral path increases toward the dryer outlet.

An apparatus forms granulates from a flowable viscous mass. The mass is delivered to a tubular body and flows downwardly from a lower slit thereof in the form of drops. An endlessly revolving belt travels across the slit in tight engagement therewith. The belt has orifices therein which intermittently open the slit to admit the passage of the drops. The drops fall onto a conveyor which travels below the belt in the same direction and at the same speed as the belt.

118 Filtration using expanded styrene-polymer and polyolefin micro-bits US150736 1980-05-19 US4344846A 1982-08-17 Max Klein
Disclosed is (a) a filtration method using (i) micro-bits produced from an expanded thermoplastic polymer non-brittle in expanded form and selected from a styrene-polymer and a polyolefin from polyethylene to poly-methylpentene or (ii) mixtures of these micro-bits and inorganic filter aids as diatomaceous earth and perlite, and (b) these filter aid mixtures. These micro-bits and mixtures are useful filter aids in several different ways. One is to prepare a slurry of them in a liquid medium and feed this slurry to a filter element (as fabric filter cloth or wire filter cloth or ceramic filter) to provide on that element's feed side a precoat of the filter aid and liquid leaves as filtrate from its filtrate side.In another way these micro-bits and mixtures are used by being admixed into the liquid (inert to them) containing finely divided material suspended or dispersed in the liquid and to be removed. Also, these micro-bits alone or mixture with diatomaceous earth or perlite can be admixed into the liquid medium. Another way to use the micro-bits or their mixture is by using the precoat route and with the liquid dispersion to be filtered containing in it these micro-bits alone or admixed with any inorganic filter aid.

The first and second containers define a gap therebetween which creates a negative pressure to suck-in excess mass from the outer periphery of the apparatus. A spatula is provided to push the mass into the gap.
