Semi-fluidisation —A New Method of Solid9 Fluid Contacting Technique

Abstract

In most of the Chemical Engineering unit operations and processes we come across situations where a solid phase has to be kept in contact with a fluid phase. These may be mass transfer operations like adsorption, absorption, drying, extraction, reaction kinetics like solid reactions, heat transfer in pebble beds etc. The mutual contact between the two phases plays a very) important role and one must be on the look out for finding out ways and means of improving the contacting techniques.
