Abstract:

The numerical simulation was employed to investigate hydrodynamics of activated coke of two-dimension fluidized bed under different operation conditions, based on the two-fluid model. Results show that the pressure drop of fluidized bed is up to maximum with low gas velocity and high solid flux, and it increases gradually with the increase of solid volume fraction. Axial solid concentration of activated coke at the bottom of fluidized bed is denser than that at the top, which
verifies the heterogeneous distribution of particles. Axial averaged velocity of particles is easily subject to gas velocity, which is low at the bottom of fluidized bed and increases with the increase of bed height due to gas entrainment. Therefore, reasonable operation conditions (such as gas velocity and solid circulating flux) are significant for improving gassolid reaction efficiency of fluidized bed.
