Gas-solid fluidized-bed systems offer great advantages in terms of chemical reaction
efficiency and temperature control where other chemical reactor designs fall short. For this …

In practical engineering applications, the mixing and separation behavior of multi-
component particles is importance to the fluidized bed operation. The development of many …

Since comminution within mineral beneficiation plants is the most energy consumer unit, the
effective separation of coarse particles has generated considerable interest in the ore …

For the last 30 years, experimental and modeling studies have been carried out on fluidized
bed reactors from laboratory up to industrial scales. The application of developed models for …

Axial segregation behaviour of a single biomass particle in a lab-scale bubbling fluidized
bed has been investigated from both experimental and modelling perspectives. Experiments …

In the energy conversion process, the inert bed material such as sand with spherical shape
is usually added to the fluidized bed for the proper fluidization of the non-spherical biomass …

A non-intrusive X-ray imaging technique has been used to investigate the behaviour of solid
feedstock particles in a lab-scale fluidized bed reactor operated at temperatures up to 650° …

Nonspherical particles are commonly found when processing biomass or municipal solid
waste. In this study, cylindrical particles are used as generic nonspherical particles and are …

A magnetic particle tracking (MPT) system is applied to a bubbling fluidized bed to study
how axial mixing and segregation of fuel are influenced by the fuel density and operational …

In this paper, dispersion behaviors of continuous-feeding fuel particles in a 3D fluidized bed
were studied in detail using CFD–DEM simulations with a substantial difference in particle …
