Crystallisation-- do a google on sugar refining.

Fogotten an excellent general engineering text book we used when I did Pharm engineering (was over 50 years ago). You should be familiar with Bernouli, prandtl, and stanton theories. Drying is a fascinating topic and you should research vacuum, freeze and spray drying. Vacuum drying used to make Horlicks, coffee is spray dried for cheap brands and freeze dried for expensive version. freeze drying originally developed for penicillin production.

We used to dry chlorophyll on a roller dryer.

Search Amazon for a suitable book, then buy second hand from ebay.
