7) And their Industrial applications
A prill is small agregate of material, most
often a dry sphere formed from melted
liquid
Soldification of droplets of
molten material free falling against
Upward stream of air in tower is
called Prilling
It is more convenient for use , storage and
transporting because of their much smaller
specific surface area and bulk density
Prills of fertilizers are small , easy to handle ,
easily absorb in land , light in weight , very
small impurities etc
The melt must be sprayed into droplets
uniform size as required
The sprayed droplets must be fully solidified
and cooled in order to avoid bonding of
particles with each other and caking on wall
It is cylindrical vertical tower with average
hight 75 m , in which urea prilling take place
with huge diameter it has two prill sections

Dry granulation involves granule formation
without using liquid solution
In dry granulation powder particles may
be brought together mechanically by
compression into slugs
Products maybe sensitive to heat and
temperature
The process in which powder form particles
combine to form bigger and solid particle by
the process of agglorimation with the help of
binding agent like water
4)spray drying
In this type of equipment, the particles
are set into movement by an impeller
rotating at a high speed (Approx 50-
100 rpm). Equipment also contains a
chopper which
rotates at around 1500 4000 rpm [10]. The
primary function of chopper is to cut large
lumps
into smaller fragments thus increases the
binder distribution into the blend.
Impeller speed : higher the impeller speed
generally denser and smaller granules , lower
the speed generally more porous and large
particles
Chopper speed : there is no effect of chopper
speed on granules size but in the case when
chopper is large size it act as secondary
impeller
Surface tension: lower surface tension binder
will be use in large amount to form granules
of same size as compared to binder with high
surface tension
No dust formation
