Progress of Research and Development of Drying Technology in the World
Progress of current research and development of wood drying technology was summarized and presented in this paper based on the literature from the latest drying symposiums.The authors identified some fundamental research areas of drying theory and technology and evaluated some of the latest drying techniques,such as overheated steam drying,combination drying,and supercritical drying.Energy efficiency,emissions reduction,development of control system,and successful process simulation were considered as the long-term research goals in the future.
