Particle segregation in a screen baffle packed fluidized bed

The segregation of binary particle mixtures was investigated in a horizontal screen baffle packed fluidized bed, which was operated continuously. In this study, the effects of the gas velocity, baffle spacing, screen size, feeding location, feeding rate, and bed height on particle segregation were examined. The results showed that the efficiency of particle segregation increases as the gas velocity, baffle spacing, and screen hole diameter decrease.
