Diameter-Transformed Fluidized Bed

Part of the book series: Particle Technology Series ((POTS,volume 27))

Abstract

This Chapter introduces the fundamentals of catalytic reaction engineering and complex gas-solid catalytic reactions as well as how the various reactors including fixed bed, moving bed and fluidized bed reactors being adapted to the complex heterogeneous reactions. It is found that it is fairly difficult to compromise the reaction conversion and the selectivity to the desired product employing the fluidized bed with a single reaction zone. A diameter-transformed fluidized bed (DTFB) reactor is then invented, in order to maximize the target reactions and inhibit/stop the undesired reactions by creating multiple reaction zones with different suitable reaction conditions in an engineering feasible way.
