Fluid Bed Technology in Materials Processing

Presenting information usually not available in a single source, Fluid Bed Technology in Materials Processing examines various aspects of fluidization engineering, elaborating on applications in materials processing and bioengineering. Chapters discuss the basics of fluidization; applications in the extraction and processing of minerals, metals, and materials; fluidization in the nuclear fuel cycle; plasma fluid beds and electrothermal fluidized beds; design of fluidized bed reactors; and new techniques, such as magnetically stabilized fluidized beds and compartmented fluidized beds.
