Abstract:
Organic solid materials such as brown coals are dried by pre-
ferably continously passing the pre-heated organic solid ma-
terials through at least one drying stage and by subjecting
the organic solid materials within this drying stage to the
action of saturated steam under super atmospheric pressure
and at elevated temperature. Steam is used for pre-heating the
solid materials and the condensate formed is discharged prior
to introducing the solid materials into the drying stage ope-
rated with saturated steam. Saturated steam and preferably the
steam obtained during the drying process is used for pre-heating
purposes. Pre-heating itself can be effected under atmospheric
pressure thereby pressure-releasing the steam obtained in the
drying stage. Pre-heating is effected within a bunker (1) being
connected via a pressure lock (6) with an autoclave (7). Steam
is supplied via a conduit (2) to the solid materials to be pre-
heated.The condensed water is discharged from the bunker (1)
via a conduit (3). Additional conduits (5) can be connected to
the bunker (1) for discharging the condensate from different
cross-sectional planes.
