RESUMO

The objective of this work was the coating of urea with polymeric film in a two­dimensional spouted bed, enhancing storage and handling properties. An experimental design was utilized to investigate the relationship between operational variables such as: air flow rate, air temperature, air atomizinng pressure and coating suspension flow rate, and efficiency of the process, particles growth, particles growth kinetics and physical properties (grain size, bulk density, sphericity and moisture holding capacity). Grains of commercial urea, in the range of 1680 - 2000 J.11D, were coated with Eudragit® aqueous suspension, in a two-dimensional spouted bed niade in plexiglass, with slanted base angle of the 55°, in the following operational conditions: air flow rate fiom 1.33 x 10-2 to 1.66x 10-2 kgls, air temperature from 50 to 70°C, air atomizing pressure fiom 1.38 x 10+5 to 2.07 x 10+5 Pa and coating suspension flow rate ftom 1.077 x 10-2 to 1.425 x 10-2 kg/s. The experimental results showed that the efficiency ofthe process and the particles growth were influenced positively by air atomizing pressure and coating suspension flow rate, and were influenced negatively by air flow rate and air temperature, and a1so by the interactions of theses variables. A satisfactory linear fit was obtained for particles growth kinetics, however the majority of the experiments exhibited a linear kinetics composite of the two distinguished stages. The polymeric suspension of Eudragit® improved up to 4 times the moisture holding capacity of coated urea in relation of uncoated urea. The bulk density, grain size and sphericity were independent of operational conditions and were c10se to the values of uncoated urea, because the particle growth was lower than 6 % in mass. Optical microphoto showed the coated urea aspect and influence of operational conditions on the surface characteristics, such as uniformity and roughness
