An experimental investigation of the solids flow pattern in gas-flowing solids-fixed bed contactors is presented. The apparatus and procedures for determining the dynamic and static solids holdups, solids residence time distribution and the extent and rate of the exchange between particles in the static and dynamic solids holdup are described in detail. Experiments were performed in a bench scale system, containing a column (diameter similar to 60 mm) packed with glass beads of 16 mm in diameter packed up to the height of 0.8 m. Tracer experiments with a step input in flowing solids phase were used for determining the residence time distribution and exchange between particles. Fine solids (spheres with mean diameter of 291 pm) of two different colors (all other properties being the same) were used in the tracer experiments to determine the residence time distribution and the exchange between static and dynamic solids holdup. In both types of experiments, the response curves have been o...btained via color analysis of digital photos. All experiments have been repeated at different operating conditions, with a broad variation of solids mass flux and gas velocity, and reproducibility at set conditions was checked. The obtained experimental results are discussed and the observed important characteristics of the solids flow pattern are outlined. The effects of the solids flux and gas velocity on the solids flow pattern are presented and analyzed.
