Abstract

A novel spouted bed, namely, an annular spouted bed with several angled angled air nozzles, has been proposed for dryness, catalytic pyrolysis, and gasification of biomass. It consists of two concentric upright cylinders with eight annularly located angled air nozzles between inner and outer cylinders. A rotating cone is adopted as an accessorial feeder. Experiments have been performed to study mixing characteristics of the annular spouted bed. The test materials studied are soybean and black bean. The effect of feeding mode and air velocity as well as static bed height on particle mixing of the spouted bed under various operating conditions was investigated. In addition, the lateral particle motion was studied experimentally and theoretically.
