Spouted bed apparatuses are already used in some technical areas for a variety of chemical and metallurgical operations. One of the advantages of spouted beds compared to the fluidized beds is the possibility of achieving better conditions for an intense heat and mass transfer. Spouted beds are characterized by a relatively simple construction and an easy design, which allows the scale-up of the spouted bed apparatuses and the creation of industrial equipments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
