Potential applications are brine dewatering, water recovery in life support systems for: the international space station, the Lunar surface, Mars transit and Mars surface missions. Additionally, spray drying can be used for the drying of high-solids-content moist matterSpray drying is well suited for the single step drying of liquid solutions or suspensions to a dry free solid while producing clean recovered water. A system of modest size can also serve as a backup unit or alternative for other water recovery processors. Innovations in control and efficiency will be find applications in the production of pharmaceuticals. The focus on water recovery will draw interest from the chemical manufacturing and advanced materials industries. Spray drying is a promising technique allow for the optimization of precursor production to produce highest quality nanomaterials at the fraction of the current cost thus enabling many nanomaterial applications
