Abstract
When fine and cohesive particles are the subject of study, fluid beds are of concern of due to the formation of channeling. This work presents a study that was carried out on the drying of fine particles, in this case a crystalline organic acid, in a mechanically stirred fluidized bed. The drying kinetics curves were determined by evaluating the influences of initial moisture content and temperature of the drying gas at the entrance of the bed. This study shows the suitability of the stirred fluidized bed for the drying of solids of low-quality fluidizationKeywords
