The present embodiments provide compositions comprising structured hierarchically porous aggregates of zeolite particles, methods of making these compositions, and methods of using these compositions as desiccants, for example, in drying commodities. These structured hierarchically porous zeolite particle aggregates are configured in a way that optimizes porosity for rapid hydration (zeolites hydrate to remove moisture from the environment or commodities) and microwave dehydration (to regenerate zeolites) in compositions that are strong enough for commercial use and can withstand multiple cycles of microwaves for regeneration.

Disclosed is a drying apparatus including a molding unit configured to mold a raw material to be molded; a pre-drying unit in which a pre-drying convey path is formed to introduce and convey the raw material discharged from the molding unit, and the pre-drying unit heats the raw material moving along the pre-drying convey path so that the raw material is dried; and a main drying unit to further heat the raw material discharged from the pre-drying unit so that the raw material is further dried.

The present invention relates to a transportable sargassum drying machine that comprises several subsystems incorporated to achieve the objective of the invention. These subsystems consist of transportation and stabilization, a solar heating system that includes cylindrical parabolic solar heaters that heat thermal oil up to a temperature of 330° C.; hot air generation, which is directed to the conveyor belt and buckets to dry the sargassum; a drying process in which hot air from the radiators passes through the conveyor belt, evaporating moisture from the sargassum as it is transported; a multi-stage conveyor belt system with three conveyor belts, achieving a moisture content of 14% or less; a packing process where the sargassum is transported to a packing machine for shipping and transport; and power supply, where the machine's electrical devices are powered by photovoltaic solar panels attached to the side walls of the trailer.

Disclosed is a spray-freeze drying (SFD) apparatus for continuous drying of microalgae. The apparatus includes a main chamber connected to a collector chamber and a compressor, designed to freeze fine droplets of microalgae and collect frozen particles. A drying chamber, positioned downstream of the main chamber, is coupled with a vacuum pump and an electromagnetic radiation source to remove moisture from the frozen microalgae, resulting in dried particles. The dried microalgae are then collected in a designated collection chamber. Additionally, a method is disclosed for continuous drying of microalgae using the SFD apparatus. The method involves spraying microalgae suspension as fine droplets towards a cold surface particle collector in the main chamber, freezing and collecting the particles, transferring them to the drying chamber, and removing moisture through the activation of the electromagnetic radiation source and vacuum pump, followed by collecting the dried microalgae in the collection chamber.
