Mass transfer and bed expansion of solid-slurry fluidized beds

In recent years biotechnological applications calling for development of new fluidized bed processes have often added new complexities to traditional liquid-solid fluidized bed designs. In the present work, water, benzoic acid pellets, and various fine particles are employed to study the effect of l...

Description
Summary:In recent years biotechnological applications calling for development of new fluidized bed processes have often added new complexities to traditional liquid-solid fluidized bed designs. In the present work, water, benzoic acid pellets, and various fine particles are employed to study the effect of liquid flow rate, fluidized bed particle size, slurry particle size and density, and slurry particle loading on solid-liquid mass transfer in a slurry-solid fluidized bed system.
