Optimisation on the microwave drying of ammonium polyvanadate (APV)- based on a kinetic study
Journal of Materials Research and Technology(2021)
Abstract
Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is one of the fundamental materials applied in the productions of batteries, vanadium-aluminium alloys, biomedicine, catalysis, etc. High purity V2O5 can be prepared from an intermediate product, namely ammonium polyvanadate (APV), using roasting after a drying process. In this paper, microwave heating was used as an alternative drying option for APV, which has advantages including selective heating, high heating efficiency, energy-saving, and environmental protection. The authors investigated the microwave heating characteristics of APV and discussed the effects of microwave power, the mass of APV, and initial water content on the efficiency of microwave drying. The dynamic analysis of the APV microwave drying process was also carried out. Four groups of thin-layer drying dynamic models, namely Modified-Page model, Verma model, Sickmplified-Fick's-diffusion model, and Two-term-exponential model, were fitted with the experimental data. Through comparison, the Modified Page model could better describe the microwave drying process of APV.
