Abstract
Drying is used to separate volatile components called moisture from a carrier. In many cases this implies the separation of water. The carrier may be solid, liquid, or gas. In this chapter only the drying of solid materials shall be discussed. The presented methods are also applicable to paste-like materials. Drying of fluids denotes the removal of small amount of water from gases or organic liquids. Adsorption as well as absorption and rectification processes are used for this. Thus, the drying of liquids and gases has been dealt with in other chapters.
