Fluidized-bed conversion of solid fuels is a well-established and widely used technology.
Yet, operational problems are encountered in industrial practice. One of the most important …

Acoustic measurement techniques are being developed to monitor the state of equipment
and the physicochemical changes within chemical engineering processes. The advantage …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) emitted from fluidized bed combustion have been
reviewed. Firstly, the PAH origin is undertaken. Secondly, the state of the art on their …

A fluidised bed of low-density (< 0.9 g/cm 3) hollow microspheres (cenospheres) was used
for the combustion of selected liquid and solid fuels. It was proven that with such a fluidised …

A laboratory size quartz reactor has been used to burn methane, LPG (liquid petroleum gas)
and aromatic hydrocarbon vapors in a bubbling fluidized bed. Most measurements and …

The use of ammonia as a carbon-free fuel can significantly reduce carbon dioxide
emissions, and fluidized beds are expected to achieve efficient combustion of ammonia. A …

The combustion of premixed natural gas and air has been studied in a bubbling fluidized
bed of inert particles. The temperature of the solids was carefully monitored, using 8 …

Previous work has been examined here to arrive at a proper criterion for when a mixture of a
hydrocarbon gas and air ignites, when it is used to fluidise a bed of eg. silica sand. It was …

Combustion in a heated bed of sand, fluidised by mixtures of CH 4 and air, is inhibited. It
was recently suggested that this is partly because a bubble only ignites, when the longest …

The combustion of hydrogen in a hot, bubbling bed of quartz sand fluidized by air has been
studied for the first time, by injecting hydrogen just above the distributor, via six horizontal …
