Advances in Drying Science and Technology from the 23rd International Drying Symposium

The aim of the Special Issue is the same as that of the 23rd International Drying Symposium (IDS 2024, https://www.ids2024.com), which is to communicate cutting-edge findings and information related to the study, advancement, and use of drying/dewatering science and technology.

In this Special Issue, conference contributions from IDS 2024 can be presented in their extended form and should be more specifically focused on the following topics:

• The fundamentals, modeling, and simulation of drying;
• The physical properties and quality of dried products;
• Industrial drying processes and equipment;
• Measurement and control in drying processes;
• The energy-related and environmental issues of drying;
• Osmotic dehydration and drying;
• The drying of gases and liquids;
• The drying of powdered solids;
• Drying in biomass energy applications;
• The drying of food and agricultural materials;
• The drying of biological and pharmaceutical materials;
• The drying of chemicals and polymers;
• The drying of wood, pulp and paper, and forest products;
• Novel drying technologies and R&D opportunities.

Please note that this Special Issue is exclusively for extended and expanded versions of the proceedings papers from IDS 2024.
