Potash Drying with TEMA Process Fluid Bed Dryers
Potash is a potassium-rich, water-soluble salt, and around 95% of global production is used as fertilizer. The most common form is potassium chloride (KCl), but potash fertilizers may also include K₂CO₃, K₂SO₄, or KNO₃. These nutrients play a vital role in agriculture—improving water retention, crop yields, and even the taste and nutritional value of many plants. After potash is mined, it must be processed into [...]

TEMA’s fluid bed dryers for LiOH
For lithium hydroxide monohydrate, it is essential to dry it at a temperature and humidity that avoids removing the water of crystallization, which would turn it into anhydrous LiOH or cause it to react with carbon dioxide. To achieve dry lithium hydroxide monohydrate, the wet salt needs to be dried, keeping the monohydrate stage, and without removing crystalline water. The drying system uses a CO2 [...]

Why Steam Sterilization Is the Preferred Method for Spices in the U.S.
Steam sterilization is generally preferred over ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization for spices in the USA due to a combination of regulatory, safety, environmental, and consumer perception factors. Here’s a breakdown: 1. Regulatory Restrictions on EtO • FDA and EPA regulations on EtO are very strict in the USA. • EtO is classified as a carcinogen, and its use in food processing is highly restricted or [...]
