vertical three-stage fluidized bed pilot plant, with downcomers, was designed and built in order to study the continuous process of the production of activated carbons from a high-volatile bituminous coal from the Puertollano basin (Spain), by steam activation. The pilot plant can operate with a pro

## Abstract A model is developed to determine an optimum apparatus geometry and, for given apparatus dimensions, a financially optimal fluidized bed height. The parameters that effect the operating costs are the bed mass, the apparatus diameter and the gas mass flow rate. To implement such cost opt
A new homogeneity index is proposed to characterize the fluidization quality of non-slugging fluidized beds of Geldart A particles. The definition of this homogeneity index is based on the comparison of bed expansion between the normal operating condition and an ideal homogeneously fluidized conditi
## Abstract A significant defluidization occurs when carrying out reactions involving a decrease in gas volume in a fluidized catalyst bed. The cause of this phenomenon is a decrease in the gas velocity in the emulsion phase below the minimum fluidization velocity. Fluidization quality is improved
