Abstract: Constant-temperature drying tests for cotton straw under different conditions were performed with an integrated thermal analyzer, and the influence of different drying conditions on the drying process was analyzed. The process was divided into preheating stage, constant-rate drying stage, and decelerating drying stage. Regression analysis was conducted for drying curves at the latter two stages, and then the drying time at the critical point was determined. Regression equations of drying rate at these stages were produced. Research results showed that the decelerating drying stage of cotton straw included two decelerating intervals, and the best ending point of the drying of the cotton straw that had an initial moisture content of 56.1% and a drying temperature of 100 degrees C was 600s, thus providing experimental data and reference for research on drying technology of straws.
