Apparatus for processing particulate solids

摘要

Reactors in which solids can be processed by fluid-solids contact. The reactors include a shell housing a rotatable, movable assembly or rotor for supporting a bed of solids and for displacing the solids from a first location where they are introduced into the reactor to a second location where they are discharged. As the solids are displaced, process fluid is directed upwardly through the bed in a manner which causes the solids to circulate and come into intimate and uniform contact with the process fluid.
