Vacuum Rake Drying for an Oxidation-Sensitive Chemical Intermediate
A specialty chemical producer needed to dry a paste-form intermediate that was prone to oxidation and discoloration when exposed to air at elevated temperature. Conventional oven drying produced inconsistent color and required a lengthy secondary solvent-recovery step, adding cost and processing time to each batch.
