Abstract:
A liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed system comprising a first liquid fluidized bed, means to feed solids into said first fluidized bed adjacent to a first end of said first fluidized bed and means to feed a first fluid into said first fluidized bed adjacent to a second end of said first fluidized bed, said second end being remote from said first end so that said solids and said first fluid flow in counter current, a second liquid fluidized bed, said second liquid fluidized bed being an entraining liquid fluidized bed wherein a means for introducing solids and a means for introducing a second fluid into said second bed are both adjacent to one end of said second fluidized bed so that said solids and said second fluid introduced into said second bed flow concurrently through said second bed from said one end toward another end of said second fluidized bed remote from said one end, first means connecting said first fluidized bed to said second fluidized bed adjacent to said second end of said first fluidized bed and said one end of said second fluidized bed, said first connecting means includes means to feed said solids into said second fluidized bed, second means connecting said first and said second fluidized beds adjacent said first end of said first bed and said other end of said second fluidized bed, said first means connecting includes means forming a packed moving bed dynamic seal between said first and second fluidized beds and said second means connecting includes said means to feed solids into said first fluidized bed.
