Reactors for Fluid-Solid Reactions: Fluidized Bed Reactors
摘要
The chapter on fluidized bed reactors describes the phenomena that occur when solid particles are fluidized in rising gas streams, and how these phenomena depend on the gas velocity, operating conditions and particle properties. The advantages and disadvantages of fluidized bed reactors and important applications of circulating and bubbling fluidized beds are presented. Other topics include the scaling up and modeling of fluidized bed reactors and some typical correlations for the mathematical description of the phenomena that occur. Finally, the peculiarities of using heat exchanger tubes in bubbling fluidized beds for exo- and endothermic reactions are discussed.
