Abstract

A multistage counter-current gas-solid fluidized bed reactor operating in three stages has been designed, constructed and operated to investigate the hydrodynamics of the system. Staging of a fluidisation column with horizontal screens reduces the axial mixing of the phases and limits the formation and growth of the bubbles. The gas-solid flow mechanism, pressure drop and the solids holdup have been studied in continuous regime for two phase system over a wide range of stable operating conditions. The result of this study has great industrial importance for scale-up, design and steady operation of a multi-stage fluidized bed reactor for control of gaseous pollutants.
