The paper presents a novel drying system which includes a superheated steam drying and a hot air drying. The conventional viscose fiber drying is experimental studied and the drying quality and energy consumption were analyzed. In the experiments, the temperature of superheated steam covered the range from 120°C to 150°C and, hot air temperature is about 80°C. A series of drying kinetics curves were determined to optimize the operation parameters. The results show that the combined drying has high energy efficiency because of the exhaust heat recovery from superheated drying period.

A spray dryer was modified and tested with superheated steam as the drying medium. The effect of the inlet temperature on the recovery and morphology of the dried powder was then investigated. The results were compared with those obtained from hot-air spray drying. The results showed that the use of superheated steam and an increase in the inlet temperature led to an increase in the product recovery. The morphological results correlated with those of the product recovery in that superheated steam powder exhibited more inflated skin, leading to less adhesion of the sprayed droplets to the dryer wall. Keywords: morphology; product recovery; spray drying; superheated steam drying.
