Abstract: | Several fractions of a silica—alumina catalyst and an impregnated catalyst were fluidized with air to check published bubble point correlations and to determine the expansion of the dense phase in the bubbling region. The minimum bubbling velocities were fairly close to those reported by Geldart and others, but Umb varied with only the 0.6 power of the particle size. The dense phase expansion was significant even at velocities much above Umb and corresponded to relative velocities up to 2 – 3 times Umf. |
