For achieving rapid drying rate in a spray dryer, the diameter of the particles in the feed should be in the range of _______________ microns (1 mm = 1000 microns)?

Correct answer: B. 10-60

  • A. 1-5
  • B. 10-60
  • C. 200-300
  • D. > 500

Explanation

Spray dryers atomize the feed into fine droplets, commonly in the approximate 10 to 60 micrometre range, giving a very large surface area for rapid evaporation. Particles hundreds of micrometres wide would dry more slowly and may remain wet internally.
