Abstract: A fluidized reactor system for removing impurities from a gas and an associated process are provided. The system includes a fluidized absorber for contacting a feed gas with a sorbent stream to reduce the impurity content of the feed gas; a fluidized solids regenerator for contacting an impurity loaded sorbent stream with a regeneration gas to reduce the impurity content of the sorbent stream; a first non-mechanical gas seal forming solids transfer device adapted to receive an impurity loaded sorbent stream from the absorber and transport the impurity loaded sorbent stream to the regenerator at a controllable flow rate in response to an aeration gas; and a second non-mechanical gas seal forming solids transfer device adapted to receive a sorbent stream of reduced impurity content from the regenerator and transfer the sorbent stream of reduced impurity content to the absorber without changing the flow rate of the sorbent stream.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of making an incorporated photographic amide comprising a) continuously combining an amine capable of forming an incorporated photographic amide, an acid chloride, one or more acid-absorbing reagents, and one or more water-immiscible solvents to continuously form a reaction mixture; b) continuously reacting the amine and acid chloride to form an incorporated photographic amide; and c) separating the incorporated photographic amide from the reaction mixture.
