NCIt related terms : Drying, Flash;
NCIt definition : A process that removes water or volatile solvents from a bed of solids by relying
on absorption of heat radiation by those solvents.;
Alternative definition : FDA: Continuous drying similar to spray drying in that solids are dispersed on entry
and carried by a large volumetric flow (cfm) of air; in contrast to spray drying,
flash dryers will not accept a slurry feed and are designed to automatically recycle
partially dried solids, allowing for a smaller footprint; flash dryers may also be
equipped with an in-line mill to de-agglomerate solids.;
