Abstract
This chapter discusses the industrial applications of three-phase fluidization systems. Three-phase fluidization systems offer the flexibility of a wide range of operation conditions and contacting modes, and are finding increased industrial applications in reacting and physical processing schemes. This is primarily due to the increased use of three-phase fluidization systems in the rapidly growing field of biotechnology, but application in other areas abound as well. Successful application of three-phase fluidization systems lies in the comprehensive understanding of the complex transport phenomena mechanisms and associated reaction parameters. The term three-phase fluidization, in this chapter, is taken as a system consisting of a gas, liquid, and solid phase, wherein the solid phase is in a non-stationary state, and includes three-phase slurry bubble columns, three-phase fluidized beds, and three-phase flotation columns, but excludes three-phase fixed bed systems.
