The invention discloses a continuous
drying device and method for a mesoporous
powder material and relates to a mesoporous
powder material. The outlet valve of a
carbon dioxide steel cylinder is connected with the input opening of a high-pressure pump through a condenser; the output opening of the high-pressure pump is connected with a buffer still through a pressure-reducing valve; the
carbon dioxide output opening of the buffer still is connected with the inlet of a first stop valve; the outlet of the first stop valve is connected with a
spray nozzle; the outlet of a
storage tank is connected with a
plunger metering pump; the outlet of the
plunger metering pump is connected with the
spray nozzle through a preheater and a
check valve; the
spray nozzle is connected with a
drying kettle; the gas outlet in the top of the
drying kettle is connected with a gas flowmeter; the mesoporous
powder material outlet in the lower part of the drying kettle is connected with a discharging kettle through a second stop valve;
carbon dioxide is exhausted from the outlet of the discharging kettle through a third stop valve.
Carbon dioxide is fed into the spray
nozzle and is introduced into the drying kettle; wet materials are fed into the same spray
nozzle, pre-expanded, sprayed by the spray
nozzle and then fed to the drying kettle; after the sprayed materials are dried, the mesoporous powder material is collected in the discharging kettle. According to the continuous drying device and method, wet mesoporous materials can be quickly dried and continuously discharged, and thus continuous
supercritical drying of the mesoporous power materials is realized.
