Spouted beds operation quality and stability often suffer from spout deflection, which means
the spout channel shows a lateral movement instead of vertical spouting. A comprehensive …

A novel borescopic technique together with the monitoring of pressure fluctuation signals
(power spectral distribution, PSD) has been used to track fine particles and characterize …

The singularity of air-particle flow characteristics and segregation phenomenon are still the
main obstacles for application of conical spouted bed (CSB) for fast pyrolysis. This paper …

Sawdust was subjected to torrefaction in a “semi-batch” slot-rectangular spouted bed
(SRSB) reactor at temperatures from 240 to 330° C and biomass feed rates from 220 to 710 …

The particle-scale characteristics of the solid phase in the three distinct regions of the dual-
column slot-rectangular spouted bed are studied, along with the effects of operating …

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a nondestructive, well-established technique for the size
characterization of proteins, nanoparticles, polymers, and colloidal dispersions. However …

The longitudinal vortex technology is adopted in the spouted bed so as to strengthen the
particles radial mixing between spout and annulus zones. Three dimensional gas-solid two …

We simulated a lab-scale cold-flow spouted bed through computational fluid dynamics
(CFD), coupled with the discrete element method (DEM) for the solid phase, using a …

Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is a large-scale agroindustrial waste that could be more
efficiently utilized. This waste is composed of lignocellulosic material and so may serve as a …

The hydrodynamics in a novel integral multi-jet spout-fluidized bed was simulated using
both Eulerian-Eulerian approach and the kinetic theory of granular flows. The effect of side …
