Spray Drying of Chios Gum, Natural rubber
Spray Drying of Chios Gum, Natural rubber with the Mini Spray Dryer B-290
Chios gum is a natural resin derived from the mastic tree and is used in various industries, including food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic. Spray drying is a technique that can be used to convert Chios gum into a dry powder, which can have advantages for various applications, such as food additives, drug delivery systems, and cosmetic formulations.
The areas of focus in spray drying of Chios gum include optimizing the process parameters, such as inlet temperature, outlet temperature, atomizer type, feed rate, and solvent composition, to achieve the desired particle size, morphology, and viscosity of the gum powder. Additionally, research has been conducted to evaluate the impact of different processing aids and excipients on the physical and chemical properties of the gum powder, such as its solubility, stability, and rheology.
Similarly, natural rubber is an important raw material in various industries such as automotive, medical, and household goods. Spray drying is a promising technique for producing rubber powders with improved properties for various applications, such as filler and reinforcing agents, coatings, and adhesives.
The areas of focus in spray drying of natural rubber include optimizing the process parameters such as inlet temperature, outlet temperature, atomizer type and feed rate.
