ABSTRACT:
Structuring fluidized beds can facilitate scale-up and increase conversion and selectivity by controlling the bubble size. We present four approaches to structure fluidized beds: oscillating the gas flow, distributing the gas injection, imposing an electric field to induce interparticle forces, and optimising distributed particle properties such as the size.
