Ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) drying is a vital process to remove moisture or residual solvents from this hygroscopic inorganic compound, ensuring its stability, purity, and usability in industrial, agricultural, and laboratory applications. Ammonium chloride readily absorbs water from the atmosphere, leading to caking, reduced flowability, and potential decomposition.
Ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) drying is a vital process to remove moisture or residual solvents from this hygroscopic inorganic compound, ensuring its stability, purity, and usability in industrial, agricultural, and laboratory applications. Ammonium chloride readily absorbs water from the atmosphere, leading to caking, reduced flowability, and potential decomposition. Proper drying enhances its performance in roles such as a nitrogen source in fertilizers, an electrolyte in dry batteries, and a flux in metalworking.
Key Objectives of Drying
Moisture Reduction: Eliminate free and adsorbed water to prevent clumping, hydrolysis, or premature release of ammonia (NH₃) and hydrogen chloride (HCl).
Improved Handling: Produce free-flowing crystals or powder for precise dosing in manufacturing processes.
Enhanced Stability: Minimize decomposition during storage, particularly in humid environments.
Application Readiness: Ensure consistent reactivity in chemical reactions (e.g., as a pH adjuster or catalyst).
Common Drying Methods
Rectilinear Vibrating Fluid Bed Drier：
Rectilinear Vibrating Fluid Bed Drier is suitability in chemical industry, light industry, pharmaceutical, food, plastic, oil, slang, salt, sugar and so on, for drying, cooling and weting.
Countinius disc dryer：
The material flows through the surface of the drying disc along the index helix, and the material on the small drying disc is moved to the outer edge, and falls to the outer edge of the large drying disc below the outer edge of the large drying disc, and the material on the large drying disc moves inwardly and falls into the next layer of the small drying disc from the middle of the material drop port. The size of the drying discs arranged alternately up and down, the material to flow continuously through the entire dryer. Hollow drying disc into the heating medium, heating medium form of saturated steam, hot water and thermal oil, heating medium from one end of the drying disc into the other end of the export.
