Process for the removal of particulates entrained in a fluid using a magnetically stabilized fluidized bed

摘要: A fluidized bed process is disclosed which comprises subjecting a comprised of solid particulate magnetizable, fluidizable material within an external force field wherein at least portion the containing said magnetizable and fluidizing fluid are subjected to nontime varying substantially uniform applied magnetic having substantial component along direction such that has magnetization by flow opposing superficial velocity ranging between: (a) more than normal minimum fluidization required fluidize in absence field; and, (b) less cause time-varying fluctuations pressure difference through stably during continuous presence field. The strength its deviation from vertical orientation maintained so as prevent and/or suppress formation bubbles media given rate with selected particles makeup. Fluid throughput rates up 10 20 or times incipient achieved, concomitant bubbles. magnetically stabilized appearance expanded fixed no gross solids circulation very little gas bypassing.
