Numerical study of multi-jet structure impact on flue gas desulfurization process in 3D spouted beds

Review of Experimental Activities and Recent Developments of Spouted Bed Reactors at Different Operational Scales

“…The multi-jet inlet or secondary fluidisation system (flow of air coming from the side of the bed, Figure 3b) has the purpose of enhancing the air circulation inside the reactor and preventing the formation of dead zones. The mixing degree is improved and, consequently, the gas-solid contact [15]. These devices represent an interesting technology to enhance efficiencies, but they can increase the costs and the maintenance of the reactor, as there are more risks of clogging and erosion of the material.…”
