Abstract: To provide a drying method for terephthalic acid and a horizontal rotary dryer allowing easy performance of mass processing of the terephthalic acid and enabling size reduction by improving drying performance of the dryer. In a method of drying terephthalic acid by using a horizontal rotary dryer, a rotating shell is rotated to make a critical speed ratio ? defined by expression 1 and expression 2 become 17 to less than 80% to dry the processing material, Vc=2.21D½??Expression 1 ?=V/Vc·100??Expression 2 wherein Vc indicates a critical speed (m/s) of the rotating shell, D indicates an inside diameter (m) of the rotating shell, ? indicates the critical speed ratio (%) of the rotating shell, and V indicates a rotation speed (m/s) of the rotating shell.

Abstract: Prevention of contamination of a dried product, deformation of particles, and a change of particle size distribution. The system includes: a solid-liquid separator in which a processing material is supplied between a pair of endless separation filter cloths wound around an outer periphery of a separation roll, and is dehydrated by being squeezed therebetween and also by ventilation gas passing from a ventilation port formed in an outer peripheral surface of the separation roll; and a horizontal rotary dryer provided on a subsequent stage of the solid-liquid separator, wherein carrier gas is made to flow in a rotating shell of the dryer in a cocurrent manner in the same direction as a conveyance direction of the processing material.

Abstract: Provided is an indirectly heating rotary dryer which has achieved enhanced energy-saving performance by reducing heating tubes non-contacting with material to be dried and reducing power required for rotation even when a hold up ratio is increased. Specifically provided is an indirectly heating rotary dryer having four partition walls 16 extended respectively along an shaft center C in an inner space of a rotating shell 10 at angle intervals of 90 degrees in the vertical and horizontal directions. The four partition walls 16 partition the inner space of the rotating shell 10 at a lateral section of the rotating shell 10 into four approximately-sector-shaped small spaces K respectively extended along the shaft center C. Heating tubes 11 are aligned in the rotating shell 10 in three lines extended respectively in parallel to the shaft center C of the rotating shell 10.
