I was the originator of the WP article. I have gone over it completely to make it into a CZ article. Milton Beychok 12:32, 4 July 2008 (CDT)

Approval?

I had vaguely thought this was already done.

On rereading, a question. Your explanation that spray drying is different but related is quite reasonable. At that related level, however, what about freeze drying/lyophilization? It's something I've done mostly in lab and microbiological pilot plant scale, but is it not at least loosely related? Is there a parallel between the sublimation of ice in vacuo to the other changes of state here? Howard C. Berkowitz 20:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
