Spray Drying of Dicalcium phosphate
Spray Drying of Dicalcium phosphate with the Mini Spray Dryer B-290
Dicalcium phosphate (DCP) is a commonly used calcium supplement for animal feed and fertilizer applications. Spray drying is a popular method used to produce dry powders of DCP, which can improve its handling, storage, and processing.
During the spray drying process, a DCP slurry is atomized into fine droplets and dried in a hot air stream to produce a dry powder. The resulting powder has good flowability, uniform particle size distribution, and high purity, making it ideal for various applications.
Areas of spray drying of DCP include the selection of appropriate raw materials, formulation development, process optimization, and product characterization. The optimal processing conditions such as temperature, flow rate, and inlet/outlet conditions are determined to optimize the particle size, powder yield, and other physicochemical properties of the resulting powder.
Spray-dried DCP powders are commonly used in various animal feed and fertilizer applications. The use of spray drying technology ensures consistent quality and high production efficiency, making it a preferred method for producing DCP-based dry powders.
