Thermal and thermochemical processes can be efficiently developed and carried out in
fluidized beds, due to the unique properties of fluidized suspensions of solid particles and to …

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 …

This review presents recent advances in research on fluidized bed combustion of solid
biomass. While the main focus is on thermochemical processes occurring in fluidized beds …

The influence of bed composition–that is, the relative proportions of different components–
on the mixing of fluidised beds containing mixtures of Geldart group B and D particles is of …

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 this paper, CFD-DEM method coupled with the thermochemical submodel is employed to
simulate the char combustion in a three-dimensional (3D) bubbling fluidized bed. The …

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° …

The reduction of iron ore using biomass-based reductants has opened up a new chapter
because of its contribution to energy conservation and emission reduction. In this …

The hydrodynamics of Geldart B and D solids dense fluidized beds, of spherical/irregular
morphology, have been characterized using capacitance probes at ambient temperature …

Flow pattern transition is one of the most important mechanisms in fluidization technology.
By employing the computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method simulation and …
