HEAT GENERATION USING STACKED FLUIDIZED BEDS

摘要

An apparatus and method for generating heat in which a particulate fossil fuel material and a solid absorbent material are passed into a chamber and are fluidized by passing air through the chamber. The portion of fuel material entrained in the air passing through the material is directed to, and is fluidized in, a second chamber. The sulphated sorbent from the first chamber is passed to the second chamber and is desulphated therein before being passed back to the first chamber.
