Sm. Tasirin et D. Geldart, AN EMPIRICAL-APPROACH TO THE PREDICTION OF ELUTRIATION OF FINES FROM FLUIDIZED-BEDS AT DIFFERENT FREEBOARD LEVELS, Chemical engineering communications, 167, 1998, pp. 245-262
An empirical approach has been developed to predict the total entrainm
ent flux at different levels of freeboard height. The approach is base
d on the results of experimental investigations carried out in a 152 m
m diameter column, with FCC as the feed powder. The powder was fluidiz
ed at superficial gas velocities of 0.2 m/s and 0.7 m/s.
