  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DRYING AND DEODORIZING LIGNIN
    Publication number: 20230295382
    Abstract: In a particular implementation, a system for drying lignin may include a mixer configured to receive lignin and one or more types of desiccant beads and to mix the lignin with the one or more types of desiccant beads. The one or more types of desiccant beads may be configured to reduce a moisture content of the lignin by adsorbing moisture from the lignin into the one or more types of desiccant beads. The system may further include a separator coupled to the mixer and configured to separate the lignin from the one or more types of desiccant beads.
