Research and applications of magnetically stabilized and fluidized beds begun several
decades ago, and have maintained their rate of interest during all these years. During last years their
applications was diversified, and the application of these beds in the processing of biological
materials and in environmental issues has nowadays focused the main attention within this area. In
this work we present a brief review of magnetically fluidized and stabilized beds, mainly
concerning their theoretical background, heat and mass transfer topics, some industrial and
laboratorial setups and applications.
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.
