Fluid bed reactor

摘要

The present application discloses in a preferred embodiment a fluid bed reactor vessel (40,50) having an inlet (56) and an outlet, said reactor containing a fluidised bed of particles (51,52,53) consisting of or comprising a conglomerate of controlled relative density with respect to a fluid, said conglomerate carrying at least one active substance to be used in the fluid and comprising pre-determined amounts of (a) basic particles consisting of at least one low density particle and/or at least one high density particle and (b) at least one conglomerating agent, the fluid bed reactor is provided with means (55) for even and smooth distribution of fluid in the fluid bed. The reactor is preferably used in a process selected from a chemical reaction, an enzymatic reaction, a fermentation, ion-exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, filtration adsorption, catalysis, immunosorption, solid phase peptide or protein synthesis and growth or microorganisms.
