fluidized bed reactor

A fluidized bed reactor is a device used in industrial processes to mix and react solid particles with gases or liquids efficiently. It works by blowing air or other gases through a bed of solid material, causing the particles to behave like a fluid—flowing and mixing uniformly. This creates excellent contact between reactants, enhancing the speed and efficiency of chemical reactions, such as in fuel processing or pollution control. The design ensures better heat transfer, uniform temperature distribution, and easier handling of materials compared to traditional fixed-bed reactors.
