Abstract: The present invention is related to the field of industrial drying unit. The present invention provides for a unit for drying and methods for the direct sorption drying of substances such as, but not limited to, pellets, construction materials, wood, gases, pulp and paper, drying of chemicals from synthesis reactions or inorganic and organic acid production, food.
Abstract: This invention relates generally to new findings to improve a method of thermal energy storage or heat pump, i.e. increase the thermal energy from an external heat source, using a reversible condensation reaction with an inorganic oxoacid compound. It accordingly provides components to be used in said improved process as well as the use thereof in the aforementioned method, including the use in the manufacture of products of the condensation products or in the manufacture of the hydrolysis products.
