Abstract
The segregation pattern of a binary mixture of particles is studied in a continuous fast-fluidized bed of 3.65 m height and 69 mm ID. The influence of operating variables such as gas velocity, solids feed rate and feed composition on total solids holdup and axial solids holdup is studied. Empirical correlations are proposed for the total pressure drop in the fast fluidization regime when density and/or size segregation occur. The influence of the operating variables on the axial concentration of solids in both the dense and dilute phases is analyzed.
