“…Gas-solid heterogeneous reactions require well contact between phases, and hence the related mass transfer research is important in applications of CFB reactors. For all that, in comparison with research for packed beds (Appel and Newman, 1976;Gillespie et al, 1968;Guo and Thompson, 2001;Jolls and Hanratty, 1969;Mcconnachie and Thodos, 1963;Sullivan et al, 2005) and for bubbling fluidized beds (Hsiung and Thodos, 1979;Kato et al, 1970;Kunii and Levenspiel, 1969;Wen and Fane, 1982), the mass transfer behavior in CFB risers are less reported (Yu and Jin, 1994) and the results in point are hardly in fair agreement. For instance, a recent review finds that the values of mass transfer coefficient in the literature may differ by up to 7 orders of magnitude (Breault, 2006).…”
