Abstract

Binary systems have been divided into six groups according to their minimum fluidization velocities, densities, and size of particles. A concentration profile of fluidized bed has been studied. Experimental results have indicated that interval (45 - 90 sec.) is necessary for concentration profile generation. The profile appears to be uninfluenced by original arrangement of system components, the composition of bulk and grid region being in mutual equilibrium. Superficial velocity strongly affects system equilibrium, especially at higher jetsam concentrations. The best segregation of the system was achieved at velocities close to the minimum fluidization velocity of the binary system. The binary systems of the 3rd and 6th types change from segregated to mixed fluidized bed if gas velocity increases. The binary system of the 1st type was difficult to mix up since flotsam entrained partially if velocity of air was increased. The equilibrium concentration profile was uninfluenced by the size of the equipment - provided fluidized bed height was above a critical limit.
