Static Bed Height The transition velocity was almost independent of the static bed height, which varied from 0.4 to 1.0 m (Grace and Sun 1990). Similar results were reported by Cai (1989) and Satija and Fan (1985) with (Hmf/Dt) > 2. On the other hand, for a shallow fluidized bed of (Hmf/Dt) < 2 with Group B and D particles, Canada et

PRODUCTIVE FLUIDIZED BED APPLICATIONS Fluidized Bed Processes in the Pharmaceutical Industry. The fluidized bed process is a thermal and mechanical process technology for the production of powders and granules. The process is used in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, agricultural, chemical and food industries.
However, in a Fluidized Bed (see Section 2.4), due to intense mixing causing high heat and mass transfer rates between the reactants, the locations of the reaction zones will depend on the geometry of the reactor and the distribution of the feed points. Typically the engineering will aim to realize the char combustion zone close to the oxidant ...
Fluidized bed electrodes (FBEs), which were discovered in the late 1960s, are 3D (three-dimensional) particle electrodes. The FBEs have been attracting extensive attention because of their unique properties and advantages, such as higher space-time yield, high active electrode area, and higher mass transfer rate than conventional …
Mining often leads to nitrate and metal contamination of groundwater and water bodies. Denitrification of acidic water was investigated in two up-flow fluidized-bed reactors (FBR) and using batch assays. Bacterial communities were enriched on ethanol plus nitrate in the FBRs. Initially, the effects of temperature, low-pH and ethanol/nitrate …
The fluidized-bed reactor is the centerpiece of industrial fluidization processes.

A porous ceramic plate gas distributor is positioned above a coarse alumina (d p = 2 mm) packed bed section to preheat and distribute the fluidizing air uniformly.An electric heating furnace, …
The results show that the static bed height should be controlled near 300 mm (e.g., 300–350 mm). The bubble size, amount, and frequency of the fine particle bed are smaller than those of the bed containing 0.3–0.15 mm large Geldart B particles, thus leading to a higher bed activity.
1. Introduction. Gas-solid turbulent fluidized bed (TFB) is widely used in petrochemical, coal chemical industry, biomass chemical industry and other processing fields due to its good gas-solid contact, high catalyst utilization, and continuous powder handling ability [[1], [2], [3], [4]].In the TFB, the complicated gas-solid two-phase flow …
Fluidized beds are widely used to process large volumes of fluid. The solid particles which are present in the fluidized bed could be fluidized by either gas or liquid, upon which the whole mixture starts to behave like a liquid. The chief advantage of a fluidized bed system is that the particles are well mixed leading to low-temperature gradients.

Fluidized-bed gasifiers suspend feedstock particles in an oxygen-rich gas so the resulting bed within the gasifier acts as a fluid. These gasifiers employ back-mixing, and efficiently mix feed coal particles with coal particles already undergoing gasification. To sustain fluidization, or suspension of coal particles within the gasifier, coal of ...
