Phospho Gypsum Granulation

04/29/2010 11:39 PM

We have Phospho gypsum (Calcium sulphate dihydrate) which is the byproduct of our phosphoric acid plant. This has got 15 to 20% free moisture.

Q1: Any economic or standard drying process & equipment to dry at the feed rate of 10 to 15 tph to achieve about 5 to 10% moisture.

Q2: Any gypsum granulating process?

Q3:Material handling equipment for Gypsum and MOC.

kindly advice.

What are you doing with the gypsum now?

A simple drum dryer is an obvious choice. With rubber inserts or chains to prevent agglomeration on the internal walls. It should act as a granulator as well.

I have in my mind's eye a super phosphate dryer/granulator.

Dear Sir,

Currently we are sun drying to about 10 to 15% moisture content and bagging to sell for cement industry.

On trial we have taken in dryer of capacity 7.5tph at 15 to 20% moisture content at inlet (mixing with dolomite) and drying air flow rate of about 10000 m3/hr at 300 deg C with dryer outlet 65 deg C, but found heavy build-up dryer and material becomes powdery too.

regards,

SNA
