1. A method for preparation of a cell culture medium, consisting of: providing a cell culture medium;
dissolving the cell culture medium in purified water to produce an aqueous cell culture medium solution, wherein the aqueous cell culture medium solution consists of 0.5 to 3 parts by weight of purified water with respect to 1 part by weight of cell culture medium;
feeding the aqueous cell culture medium solution to a bottom spray with a pump of a fluid bed, the fluid bed having a chamber in which the bottom spray is located at a bottom without a cylindrical partition surrounding the bottom spray, wherein the pump feeds the aqueous cell culture medium solution into the bottom spray at a speed between 180 ml/min and 500 ml/min;
spraying the aqueous cell culture medium solution into the chamber of the fluid bed via the bottom spray without adding separate seed or coagulant, wherein the aqueous cell culture medium solution sprayed via the bottom spray is formed into droplets;
drawing out hot air in the chamber via a blower of the fluid bed at a volume of 500 m3/hour to 6,000 m3/hour, a temperature of the hot air ranging 60° C. to 110° C., wherein the droplets of the aqueous cell culture medium are formed into fine particles due to absence of the cylindrical partition surrounding the bottom spray;
in the same chamber of the fluid bed, repeating the spraying step via the bottom spray to the fine particles to coat a surface thereof so that the fine particles are formed into spherical granules, wherein surface tension generated by repeating the spraying step forms the spherical granules;
drying the spherical granules by the hot air drawn out by the blower without the steps of feeding and spraying; and
collecting the spherical granules from the chamber of the fluid bed and homogenizing a size of the spherical granules, wherein a size of spherical granules ranges from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm.
