In this paper a mathematical model for the soda ash drying process in a pneumatic dryer was presented. The model presents a macroscopic aspect of the drying process, for a two-phase, gas-solid system. The model is based on mass and heat transfer between the gas phase and the particle, movement of air and particles through the system, and geometric ...

Cloud point extraction (CPE) is an attractive technique that reduces solvent con- sumption and exposure, disposal costs, and process time. This method has an im- portant practical application and is used to separate and concentrate the analyte as a step before its determination, and after the formation of a poorly water-soluble complex. Use of noni...
