This five–volume handbook provides a comprehensive overview of all important aspects of modern drying technology, and only high–level, cutting–edge results are included, the targeted level being advanced. All industrial relevant topics like computational tools at different scales (Volume 1), modern experimental and analytical techniques (Volume 2), product quality and formulation (Volume 3), energy savings by improved dryer design (Volume 4) and process intensification (Volume 5) are presented. Based on the idea of the EFCE working party, this book series is the ultimate reference in the field of industrial drying. Also available as individual volumes: Volume 1 – Modern Drying Technology, Computational Tools at Different Scales Volume 1 deals with computational tools at different scales. Diverse model types, computational fluid dynamics and population balances as well as process systems simulation tools are included. Volume 2 – Modern Drying Technology: Experimental Techniques Volume 2 comprises modern experimental techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging for measurement and visualisation of moisture profiles in the interior of porous bodies during drying, Raman spectroscopy for measurement of concentration profiles during the drying of thin films and coatings, analytical methods for measurement of drying kinetics, sorption equilibria and moisture content of individual particles, techniques for the determination of important quality indices – functional and structural properties – of dried products and instrumentation of modern drying equipment and respective plants. Volume 3 – Modern Drying Technology: Product Quality and Formulation Volume 3 deals with product quality and formulation such as preservation of product quality during the drying of foods and biomaterials, preservation of active pharmaceutical ingredients during freeze drying, quality of paper products, drying of highly porous materials such as aerogels, optoelectronics, particle formation and morphology, and particle formulation. Volume 4 – Modern Drying Technology: Energy Savings Volume 4 treats the important topic of energy savings by improved dryer design and optimization, heat recovery, dynamic modes of operation with use of adsorbents and process integration and control. Volume 5 – Process Intensification Volume 5 is dedicated to process intensification by hybrid and combined drying processes, e.g. combined convective and contact drying, microwave and high–frequency drying, radiation drying. Process intensification by more efficient distribution and flow of the drying medium and impinging jet drying are also included.
