Particle Velocity Measurements in Dense Fluidized Beds

The average local velocity of the upward of particles motion was determined in a dense fluidized bed by the means of a fibre optical probe. The probe consists of two independent light gates. The particles passing in front of the light gates reflect the light, generating sign sequences that are analysed by computer. From the average time difference of the sign sequences and from the distance of the light gates, the average local velocity can be calculated. The average local velocity of the particles along the height and diameter of the fluidized bed and also as a function of the fluidization air velocity was examined. It was concluded that the average local velocity is closely correlated with the local porosity of the dense fluidized bed and depends mainly on the fluidization air velocity. Using a fibre optical probe, the optimum range of the fluidization air velocity can be determined.     

Combustion of slugs of propane and air moving up through an incipiently fluidized bed

A mathematical model is proposed to show the evolution of temperature, chemical composition and energy release or transfer in slugs, clouds and particulate phase, in a fluidized bed where there are slugs, of a mixture of air and propane, moving up through the particulate phase previously set in the state of incipient fluidization with air. The analysis begins as the slugs are formed at the orifices of the distributor, until they explode inside the bed or emerge at the free surface. The model also makes the analysis of what happens in the gaseous mixture that leaves the free surface of the fluidized bed until the propane is thoroughly burnt. It is essentially built upon a simple quasi-global mechanism for the combustion reaction and the mass and heat transfer equations from the two-phase model of fluidization. The aim was not to propose a new modelling approach, but to combine classical models, one concerning the reaction kinetics and the other the bed hydrodynamic aspects, to obtain a better insight on the events occurring inside a fluidized bed reactor, enhancing the understanding of this type of reactor. Experimental data to balance with the numerical model were obtained through tests on the combustion of commercial propane, in a laboratory scale fluidized bed, using four sand particle sizes: 400–500, 315–400, 250–315 and 200–250 μ m. The mole fractions of CO₂, CO and O₂ in the flue gases and the temperature of the fluidized bed were measured and compared with the numerical results.     

A coaxial induction probe for measuring the charge,size and distance of a passing object

A coaxial induction probe for measuring the charge, size and distance of a passing object is presented. Two different current signals were induced as an object passed the probes. The signals were integrated and Gaussian curves were fitted to the data. According to simulations done with Comsol Multiphysics, the charge, size and distance could be calculated from the amplitudes and widths of the curves. The system was simulated, built and calibrated. It was tested in powder measurements in a fluidized bed device.     

New technique for electrostatic charge measurement in gas–solid fluidized beds

Electrostatic charge generation within gas–solid fluidized bed reactors has been a concern to industry for many years. Over the years, numerous methods for measuring this phenomenon within a fluidization column have been proposed. This paper focuses on the design of a new method that minimizes effects such as extra charging due to particle handling and bed hydrodynamic disruption due to the location of the measurement device. In addition, the new method provides the bulk charge of the bed particles rather than a local measurement. The device is flexible and can be adapted to a range of fluidization columns. The new method developed consisted of a Faraday cup placed within the windbox of a fluidization column. The distributor plate was designed in such a way that it can be automatically opened to drop the charged fluidizing particles into the Faraday cup below. The new measurement technique was validated by conducting fluidization experiments in a system consisting of a 0.10 m in diameter carbon steel column with glass beads as the fluidizing particles. The technique was proven to be suitable for measuring the total net electrostatic charges in gas–solid fluidized beds.

Investigation of electrostatic charge distribution within the reactor wall fouling and bulk regions of a gas–solid fluidized bed

The distribution of charge within the wall fouling region and bulk of a fluidized bed reactor was investigated. Experiments were conducted in a 0.1 m in diameter carbon steel fluidization column under atmospheric conditions. Polyethylene particles were fluidized with extra dry air at 1.5 the minimum fluidization velocity (bubbling flow regime) for 1 h. Using an online Faraday cup measurement technique, the net charge-to-mass ratio (q/m), as well as the size distribution of all particles adhered to the column wall and those in the bulk of the bed was determined. The wall particles were found to be predominantly negatively charged while those which did not adhere to the wall were predominantly positively charged. The charge distribution within each region was then investigated by a custom made charged particle separator that separated the particles according to their charge magnitude and polarity. It was determined that although the net charge of the wall layer particles was negative, a significant amount of positively charged particles existed within each sample and therefore the entire wall particle layer. This suggests that the wall layer was formed through layering between positively and negatively charged particles. Particles in the bulk of the bed also consisted of bipolarly charged particles.

In-situ gasification chemical looping combustion of plastic waste in a semi-continuously operated fluidized bed reactor

Conventional air incineration of plastic waste has been considered as one of important sources of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) through de novo synthesis and precursor conversion. Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is an attractive technology for the conversion of plastic wastes to energy with the potential to drastically suppress the formation of PCDD/Fs. In this paper, the iG-CLC (in-situ gasification CLC) experiments of plastic waste were implemented in a semi-continuously operated fluidized bed reactor, which actually simulates the fuel reactor of a continuously-operated interconnected fluidized bed reactor. A kind of low-cost material, natural iron ore without/with 5 wt% CaO adsorbent through the ultrasonic impregnation method, was used as oxygen carrier (OC). Firstly, some key performances of the reactor system, such as the relevance of the bed inventory to the flow rate of fluidizing agent as well as the relationship between the feeding rate and overflow rate of OC, were calibrated. Then, 90 min of single experiment was conducted for each experimental case and an accumulative operation of more than 10 h was attained. Typically, the combustion efficiency can reach at about 98%, and both the carbon conversion and CO₂ yield can approach to 95% at 900 °C and input thermal power of 150 W with a mixture of 5 vol% H₂O and 95 vol% N₂ as the fluidizing agent (U_FR/U_mf = 3). Moreover, the results obtained in the semi-continuously operated fluidized bed reactor demonstrated that CaO decoration to iron ore is conductive to suppressing the formation of chlorobenzene (as a toxic matter and precursor/intermediate of PCDD/Fs) and does not obviously deteriorate the OC performance.     

Dynamic interacting bubble simulation (DIBS): an agent-based bubble model for reacting fluidized beds

In this paper we explore the global dynamics of an agent-type model for bubbles in gas-fluidized beds and demonstrate that these features are consistent with experimentally observed behavior. The model accounts for the simultaneous interactions of thousands of individual bubbles and includes mass-transfer and first-order reactions between the gas and solids so that the impact of the dynamics is reflected in reactant conversion. We start with model parameters that have been demonstrated to produce time average behavior consistent with experimental reactor measurements. By observing the temporal variations of spatially averaged bubble properties, we are able to clearly distinguish the onset of global low-dimensional features that appear to be consistent with previous observations. The most prominent of these features is a large-scale oscillation that exhibits intermittency with power-law scaling in the vicinity of a critical gas flow. We show that the oscillation occurs as the result of a globally synchronized horizontal movement of the bubbles toward the center of the reactor. The oscillation appears to be consistent with the occurrence of the so-called "slugging" phenomenon, which is known to have large effects on fluidized bed reactor performance. Although this model can clearly be further improved, its success in replicating several of the key features of slugging indicates that this approach can serve as a useful tool for understanding and possibly controlling fluidized bed dynamics. We also conjecture that this model may be useful for more generally understanding the occurrence of global features in high-dimensional, multi-agent systems.

A novel continuous process for synthesis of carbon nanotubes using iron floating catalyst and MgO particles for CVD of methane in a fluidized bed reactor

A novel continuous process is used for production of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of methane on iron floating catalyst in situ deposited on MgO in a fluidized bed reactor. In the hot zone of the reactor, sublimed ferrocene vapors were contacted with MgO powder fluidized by methane feed to produce Fe/MgO catalyst in situ. An annular tube was used to enhance the ferrocene and MgO contacting efficiency. Multi-wall as well as single-wall CNTs was grown on the Fe/MgO catalyst while falling down the reactor. The CNTs were continuously collected at the bottom of the reactor, only when MgO powder was used. The annular tube enhanced the contacting efficiency and improved both the quality and quantity of CNTs.The SEM and TEM micrographs of the products reveal that the CNTs are mostly entangled bundles with diameters of about 10-20 nm. Raman spectra show that the CNTs have low amount of amorphous/defected carbon with I_G/I_D ratios as high as 10.2 for synthesis at 900 °C. The RBM Raman peaks indicate formation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) of 1.0-1.2 nm diameter.

Study of gas-fluidization dynamics with laser-polarized 129Xe

We report initial NMR studies of gas dynamics in a particle bed fluidized by laser-polarized xenon (129Xe) gas. We have made preliminary measurements of two important characteristics: gas exchange between the bubble and emulsion phases and the gas velocity distribution in the bed. We used T2* contrast to differentiate the bubble and emulsion phases by choosing solid particles with large magnetic susceptibility. Experimental tests demonstrated that this method was successful in eliminating 129Xe magnetization in the emulsion phase, which enabled us to observe the time dependence of the bubble magnetization. By employing the pulsed field gradient method, we also measured the gas velocity distribution within the bed. These results clearly show the onset of bubbling and can be used to deduce information about gas and particle motion in the fluidized bed.
