An experimental study was carried out to determine the fluidization behavior of group A glass bead beds under supercritical conditions. The fluidization state was followed experimentally by pressure drop measurements. Particle fluidization was obtained with carbon dioxide conditions far from the critical point, whereas near this point gas channeling should occur. Particle aggregation can be attributed to increased interparticle forces under these conditions.
Graphical abstractAn experimental study was carried out to determine the fluidization behaviour of group A glass bead beds under supercritical conditions. During experiments the fluidization state was followed by pressure drop measurements. The particle fluidization was obtained with carbon dioxide conditions far from the critical point whereas near this point a gas channeling should occur. The increase in interparticle forces in these conditions is foreseen to explain the particle aggregation.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
