The dewatering of residual sludges is a current problem due to the huge production of this
waste. Activated sludges are generally hard to dewater, and the design and the control of …

In recent years, the deployment of chemically stable physisorbents in various water sorption-
related applications has received significant attention. Depending on their structural …

Sludge is an inevitable waste product of sewage treatment with a high water content and
large volume, it poses a significant threat of secondary pollution to both water and the …

Moisture distributions in municipal sewage sludge, printing and dyeing sludge and paper
mill sludge were experimentally studied based on four different methods, ie, drying test …

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been intensively studied in recent years owing to
their great potential in CO 2 capture. However, the severe aggregation between platelets …

Knowing the moisture content of a product is insufficient to predict its stability, making it
necessary to also know its water activity (aw), a thermodynamic property describing the …

It is known that the two popular medium rice varieties, namely M202 and M206, in California
have different fissuring resistances. Therefore, the main goal of this study was to investigate …

Drying and storage are two significant unit operations in the food industry and are applied to
both raw and processed products including cereal grains, oilseeds, legumes, flour, noodle …

In this study all the data needed to describe water transport (drying) within an existing
concrete structure were characterized using a simple drying experiment. The properties …

Among available technologies, disk and paddle dryers are often encountered in France to
process municipal sewage sludge but their thermal design is still a question of know how …
