Patent number: 10981735Abstract: The present invention provides a method of airflow transportation of methionine that can minimize the crushing of methionine, which is characterized in that when methionine is transported as airflow using carrier gas, the flow state of methionine is a low concentration floating flow type, and the mixing ratio of methionine and carrier gas is in the range of 4 to 10 kg-methionine/kg-carrier gas. In the method of airflow transportation of methionine of the present invention, if the D50 of methionine is in the range of 150 to 425 ?m, the increase rate of the fine powder can be suppressed to 1.5% or less by maintaining the mixing ratio at 4 to 10 kg-methionine/kg-carrier gas, and can be suppressed to 1% or less by maintaining the mixing ratio at 5 to 10 kg-methionine/kg-carrier gas.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: SUMITOMO CHEMICAL COMPANY, LIMITEDInventors: Yoshiyuki Koizumi, Naoya Yamashiro, Rikuri Uejima
