Drying Characteristics and Dynamic Model of Chlorinated Natural Rubber from Latex

摘要

Drying characteristics of chlorinated natural rubber (CNR) from latex were analysed through drying experiments by suspending CNR cubes in an air chamber at different drying temperatures, air velocity and granularity. Two different models were adopted to predict the two drying phases of CNR. It was found that the two drying models could accurately represent the drying characteristics of CNR. SAS was used to estimate parameters in the drying model and a drying constant. Chemical and viscosity methods were also used to measure the effect of drying temperature on physical and chemical properties.
