Recent Advances in Particle Fluidization

Abstract

Recent advances in particle fluidization focus on improving the efficiency and control of various processes used in different industries. New technologies, such as spouted beds and circulating fluidized beds, have emerged to improve particle distribution. Additionally, the integration of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and other advanced technology leads to the effective observation of particle fluidization behavior and up-scaling of fluidized beds. In this paper, we aim to give a thorough analysis of studies from various research groups in the field of particle fluidization. The fundamentals of fluidization, recent advanced techniques, models and simulations, and application of the process will be emphasized. Moreover, it discusses various aspects regarding the challenges and opportunities of the fluidization process. Advances in particle fluidization hold great promise for improving industrial processes and enabling technologies in various industries.
