  • Zero gravity fluidized bed operation
    Patent number: 4885137
    Abstract: A wheel-like apparatus for the generation of whirling flow and a fluidized bed under zero gravity conditions having spokes which contain at least one reaction chamber for solid particles. Gas is fed into the chamber in radial inward direction for fluidizing action of the particles against any centrifugal force while liquid is sprayed into the chamber radially inwardly or outwardly.
