Abstract
The objective of this study was to validate the effectiveness of a novel method employing triboelectric probes for accurate on-line solid moisture measurements in fluidized beds. Liquid injections were conducted in a fluid bed of glass beads and the resulting solid moisture was monitored during the whole drying stage by acquiring triboelectric signals generated from several locations inside the bed. For various superficial gas velocities and amounts of injected liquid, the bed drying end point and the fraction of sprayed liquid involved in the formation of slow-vaporizing stable agglomerates were estimated performing fast signal analysis by means of the W statistic.
