Abstract
In order to investigate the effect of nano additives on fluidization behaviors of fine particles, normalized pressure drop, minimum fluidization velocity, bed expansion ratio and bed collapse curve were used to characterize their fluidization behaviors. Experiments were performed in a 5.08 cm diameter fluidized bed using fine glass beads (Geldart A and C groups) as particles and SiO2 (R972) as nano additives. It is found that the flow properties of group C particles blended with nano additives were significantly improved. Compared to Geldart group A particles, the modified group C particles exhibited higher full bed and dense phase expansion ratios, which indicated a better gas-solid contact. In addition, they achieved more uniform fluidization under the same superficial gas velocity. These findings are of great significance to the application of group C particles in industries.
