The performances of the primary catalysts olivine, dolomite, γ-alumina and FCC spent
catalyst were evaluated in the continuous steam gasification of sawdust in a bench-scale …

In this paper, a new flow regime is identified by applying an umbrella-like baffle in a
rectangular spout fluidized bed and studied by Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete …

The spouted bed regime is an alternative to fixed and fluidized beds due to the excellent gas-
solid contact and the high reduction in operating pressure drop. Nevertheless, the most …

Spouted bed dryers are well known for their high efficiency at low and moderate
temperatures. The design of industrial scale dryers requires the estimation of heat and mass …

Spouted beds operation quality and stability often suffer from spout deflection, which means
the spout channel shows a lateral movement instead of vertical spouting. A comprehensive …

Closed shell pistachio nuts must be split for their commercialisation, which is conducted in
processing plants designed on purpose. Given that current industrial processes have …

A novel borescopic technique together with the monitoring of pressure fluctuation signals
(power spectral distribution, PSD) has been used to track fine particles and characterize …

In this study, the impact of multi-jet structure on the gas-solid flow in a three-dimensional
integral multi-jet spout-fluidized bed was investigated using both numerical and …

The aim of this study was to perform the physical and physiological quality analysis of
intermittent soybean seeds drying in the spouted bed. Mechanical damages and …

The use of spouted beds for batch drying has already been approached in the literature, in
which the design of internal devices and aspects related to energy efficiency have been …
