The aim of this study is to use the dry fibers of date palm as low-cost biosorbent for the removal of Cd(II), and Ni(II) ions from aqueous solution by fluidized bed column. The effects of many operating conditions such as superficial velocity, static bed height, and initial concentration on the removal efficiency of metal ions were investigated. FTIR analyses clarified that hydroxyl, amine and carboxyl groups could be very effective for bio-sorption of these heavy metal ions. SEM images showed that dry fibers of date palm have a high porosity and that metal ions can be trapped and sorbed into pores. The results show that a bed height of 6 cm, velocity of 1.1Umf and initial concentration for each heavy metal ions of 50 mg/L are most feasible and give high removal efficiency. The fluidized bed reactor was modeled using ideal plug flow and this model was solved numerically by utilizing the MATLAB software for fitting the measured breakthrough results. The breakthrough curves for metal ions gave the order of bio-sorption capacity as follow: Cd(II)]Ni(II).

Simulation Results

A coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD)/discrete element method (DEM) is used to simulate the gas–solid two-phase flow in a laboratory-scale spouted fluidized bed. Transient experimental results in the spouted fluidized bed are obtained in a special test rig using the high-speed imaging technique. The computational domain of the quasi-three-dimensional (3D) spouted fluidized bed is simulated using the commercial CFD flow solver ANSYS-fluent. Hydrodynamic flow field is computed by solving the incompressible continuity and Navier–Stokes equations, while the motion of the solid particles is modeled by the Newtonian equations of motion. Thus, an Eulerian–Lagrangian approach is used to couple the hydrodynamics with the particle dynamics. The bed height, bubble shape, and static pressure are compared between the simulation and the experiment. At the initial stage of fluidization, the simulation results are in a very good agreement with the experimental results; the bed height and the bubble shape are almost identical. However, the bubble diameter and the height of the bed are slightly smaller than in the experimental measurements near the stage of bubble breakup. The simulation results with their experimental validation demonstrate that the CFD/DEM coupled method can be successfully used to simulate the transient gas–solid flow behavior in a fluidized bed which is not possible to simulate accurately using the granular approach of purely Euler simulation. This work should help in gaining deeper insight into the spouted fluidized bed behavior to determine best practices for further modeling and design of the industrial scale fluidized beds.

The present investigation attempts to study the hydrodynamic characteristics of the fluidized bed electrode. A core-annular flow model with a transfer of particles between core-annular layers has been proposed to describe the flow behavior of conducting particles in the fluidized bed electrode. The effect of individual parameters on the rate of the particle transfer across the layer and thickness of the core-annular has been critically examined and the model simulation has been verified with the data reported in the literature.

The pressure drop at critical fluidization for two-dimensional vibrated fluidized bed(240 mm×80 mm) was studied, with large particle glass beads of average diameters dp of 1.8mm, 2.5mm and 3.2mm.The effect of the vibration strength, the static bed height and the particle diameter on the pressure drop was analyzed. The results of the study show that the pressure drop decreases with the increase of the vibration strength. It plays an even more prominent part with decreases of the static bed height and the particle diameter. The empirical correlation equations to predict the pressure drop was established, and the results of the prediction was compared with the experimental data, the error is in range of ±10%. The results can provide references for future design and research on the vibrated fluidized bed.

AbstractBased on the improved computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method (CFD-DEM), heat transfer and two-component flow of biomass and quartz sand have been studied from experiments and numerical simulation in this paper. During experiments, the particle temperature and moving images are respectively recorded by infrared thermal imager and high speed camera. With the increase of the velocity, the mixing index (MI) and the cooling rate of the particles are rising. Due to larger heat capacity and mass, the temperature of biomass drops slower than that of quartz sand. Fictitious element method is employed to solve the incompatibility of the traditional CFD-DEM where the cylindrical biomass are considered as an aggregation of numerous fictitious sphere particles arranged in certain sequence. By the comparison of data collected by infrared thermal imager and the simulated results, it can be concluded that experimental data is basically agreement with numerical simulation results. Directly affected by inflow air (25℃), the average temperature of particles in the bed height area (h>30 mm) is about 3 degrees lower than that of the other heights. When the superficial gas velocity is larger, the fluidization is good, and the gas temperature distribution is more uniform in the whole area. On the contrary, bubbles are not easy to produce and the fluidization is restricted at lower superficial gas velocity. Gas-solid heat transfer mainly exists under the bed height of 10 mm, and decreases rapidly on fluidized bed height. The mixing index (MI) is employed to quantitatively discuss the mixing effectiveness, which first rises accelerate, then rising speed decreases, finally tends to a upper limit.

The Magnetic Field

The bed pressure drop, minimum fluidized gas velocity, bed density, and bed expansion rate are important parameters characterizing the fluidization characteristics of gas-solid fluidized beds. By analyzing these parameters, the advantages and disadvantages of the fluidization state can be known. In this study, experiments were conducted to study the fluidization characteristics of a gas-solid magnetically fluidized bed for microfine particles by changing the magnetic field strength, magnetic field addition sequence, and static bed height. The experimental results show that when the magnetic field strength increased from 0 KA/m to 5 KA/m, the minimum fluidized gas velocity of particles increased from 4.42 cm/s to 10.32 cm/s, while the bed pressure drop first increased and then decreased. When the magnetic field strength is less than 3.4 KA/m, the microfine particles in the bed are mainly acted on by the airflow; while when the magnetic field strength is greater than 3.4 KA/m, the microfine particles are mainly dominated by the magnetic field. The magnetic field addition sequence affects the fluidization quality of microfine particles. The fluidized bed with ‘adding magnetic field first’ shows a more stable fluidization state than ‘adding magnetic field later’. Increasing of the static bed height reduces the bed expansion rate. The bed expansion rate is up to 112.5% at a static bed height of h0 = 40 mm and H = 5 KA/m. This will broaden the range of density regulation of a single magnetic particle and lay the advantage of gas-solid magnetically fluidized bed for microfine particles in the field of separation of fine coal.
