Experimental data on vacuum drying of chemical and microbial synthesis prod
ucts under laboratory and industrial conditions are presented. Kinetic rela
tions of vacuum drying of dispersed materials with the removal of a multico
mponent liquid system are verified on both laboratory and industrial scale
dryers under different operating conditions. The results of the research we
re generalised and a number of empirical relations needed for drying proces
s calculation are given. The relation between heat transfer coefficient and
heat flux and motive force for the vacuum drying process is established.
