Thin-Layer Drying Characteristics and Modeling of Paper Sludge

Abstract:

In this paper, the drying experiments of paper sludge were performed at different drying conditions. The drying kinetics and phenomena of paper sludge were investigated. The effective diffusivity and the activation energy of the paper sludge during drying had been evaluated. At the same time, seven empirical models were used to model the experimental data, such as Newton, Page, Modified Page, Henderson and Pabis, Logarithmic, Two term, Two Term exponential et al. Three statistical parameters (The coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE) and the residual sum of square (RSS) ) were used to evaluate goodness of fit of the tested models.
