| Abstract: | The possibility of predicting the droplet size distribution from the particle size distribution was investigated. For that purpose, suspensions of different types of materials were dried in a laboratory‐scale spray drier. Drying of suspensions was performed with different sizes of two‐fluid nozzles. Droplet size distribution was evaluated from the data obtained for spray drying of bismuth molybdate suspension. The method was validated experimentally with other tested materials. Investigated systems involve processes of drying, crystallization, and coating. The proposed methodology can be applied when nonagglomerated particles, spherical particles, or spherical agglomerates were obtained by spray drying. |
