In spray drying, a slurry or liquid solution is dispersed into a stream of hot gas in the form of a mist or fine droplets. Moisture is rapidly vaporized from the droplets, leaving residual particles of dry solid, which are then separated from the gas stream. In a typical spray dryer, the chamber is a cylinder with a short conical bottom.
