Abstract
A number of large-scale chemical processes is carried out in fluidized-bed reactors (FBR). Optimization of processes in FBR is thus of great importance both for the increase of efficiency of the existing plants and for the design of new ones. Selection of optimal conditions for exothermic processes should recognize conditions for heat removal and multiplicity and stability of stationary states rather than just the reaction kinetics and fluidized bed hydrodynamics. Mathematically this problem is rather cumbersome. A process in FUR is described by the boundary problem for differential equations while statement of an optimization problem requires some additional limitations to be imposed on concentrations at the input and output of the reactor, on temperature, design parameters etc. One should take special notice of the limitation on the process stability which (owing to great reverse thermal agitation) is much more important in FBRs than in packed-bed reactors.
