Experimental and computational fluid dynamics studies on spray-freeze-drying and spray-drying of proteins by C. Anandharamakrishnan

“…The effects of varying feed concentration (20 - 40% w/v) and outlet temperature (600 - 120 degrees Celcius) on whey protein denaturation (determined by DSC) and solubility at pH 4.6 (by Kjeldhal and RP-HPLC methods) have been investigated in a pilot-scale cocurrent spray dryer. …”

Spray freeze drying of nanozirconia powders by Yifei Zhang

“…Unlike conventional ceramic components that are normally produced in large quantities with low costs using various conventional dry forming or wet forming methods, industry scale processing of nanoceramics has not yet been achieved. Concentration and granulation of nanostructured 3 mol% yttria stabilised zirconia via a spray freeze drying (SFD) technique was investigated to determine whether large scale dry forming of nanoceramics would be possible. …”
