From experiments, the influence of the physical characteristics of different binary mixtures of solids on the spouting regime of a pyramidal square-based spouted bed reactor is assessed. The applied methodology permits a more precise evaluation of the effects of the tested variables (diameter, density, sphericity) on the response variables...

There is a need to find ways of employing the solid residue of biomass gasification, char, to enhance the economic and environmental advantages of the process. The possible ways depend on the properties of char, which in turn depend on the conditions in which it is produced. For this study, gasification experiments were performed in a spouted...
