In the current energy scenario, the production of heat, power and biofuels from biomass has
become of major interest. Amongst diverse thermochemical routes, gasification has stood …

The environmental concern associated with waste tyre disposal and the necessity of
sustainable waste management policies has promoted the development of waste tyre …

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 …

The performance of Fe/olivine catalysts was tested in the continuous steam gasification of
sawdust in a bench scale plant provided with a fountain confined conical spouted bed …

A spouted bed was simulated through two Computational Fluid Dynamic models: CFD-TFM
and CFD-DEM. The two models were compared and validated with data from literature …

Spouted beds are commonly simulated through the Computational Fluid Dynamics–Discrete
Element Method approach. The choice of the drag model is still a matter of debate, as they …

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 …

Spout deflection is a common instability phenomenon observed in spouted beds which
decreases control over the spouted bed and worsens particle recirculation efficiency. Prior …

A study was carried out on the advantages of inserting a fountain confiner in conical spouted
beds for biomass steam gasification and the results (gas yield and composition, tar content …
