  • Patent number: 10371444
    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.

  • Patent number: 10279287
    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.
