A review of the rheology of magnetically stabilized fluidized beds

Effect of particle size polydispersity on the yield stress of magnetofluidized beds as depending on the magnetic field orientation

“…New industrial applications have emerged in bioreactors [89,90] and aerosol filtration [91]. The interested reader may find additional details on the historical aspects and current state of the art of MFBs in extended reviews reported elsewhere [56,58,59,61,60]. Histrov has more recently published a series of papers devoted to provide an unifying approach to the application of magnetic fields for assisting fluidization of Geldart B granular materials [57,[92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99].…”

“…Ivanov applied uniform direct current (DC) magnetic fields to eliminate bubbles and reduce particle entrainment in fluidized beds of iron or iron-chromium particles for conversion of CO and ammonia synthesis [51][52][53][54][55]. A detailed review on these early studies can be found in [56][57][58][59][60][61]61]. Tuthill [62] proposed for the first time the term stabilized magnetic fluidized bed (MFB) to refer to the state of non-bubbling fluidization of particles magnetized by an external magnetic field.…”
