Abstract

Fluidized beds have been used as equipment for promoting agglomeration in industrial processes. In general, particle enlargement is desirable because it improves the properties of powders. In some cases, agglomeration can be inconvenient it because can reduce the reaction rate in processes such as combustion. Bibliometric analysis was conducted to examine the global panorama of publications and identify trends in agglomeration in a fluidized bed in the last four decades. China, Sweden, Germany, Canada, and the United States raised their status as the most productive countries in the total number of publications. Keyword analysis showed that fluidization, biomass, granulation, defluidization, and coating were important to agglomeration in fluidized beds. Two main focuses were also identified in publications: granulation and combustion. Research emphasis on agglomeration in fluidized beds is progressing to evaluate the operating parameters of processing new materials and modern measurement techniques to enhance theoretical approaches.
