Drying R&D in China: Historical perspective and current status.

This article discusses the historical perspective and current status of drying research and development (R&D) in China. The International Drying Symposium (IDS) series was launched in 1978, and since then, China has made significant contributions to drying science, engineering, and technology. The article highlights the exponential growth in Chinese publications on drying and the top institutions and industries involved in drying R&D. It also mentions the development of various drying technologies in China, such as single droplet drying, microwave-assisted spouted bed drying, and pulsed vacuum drying. Additionally, the article discusses the growth of the drying equipment manufacturing industry in China and the country's role in organizing academic conferences on drying. China is expected to continue advancing in the field of drying and promoting high-quality development and energy-efficient practices. [Extracted from the article]
