The effect of 50.8 mm diameter disc shaped mobile internals (MIS) on gas-solid contacting was studied in a large two-dimensional fluidized bed by means of non-reactive tracers. MIS were found to improve substantially the mass transfer coefficient between the bubble and dense phases. However, they also increased the gas dispersion in the dense phase. ~ -On a Ctudit I'effet des garnissages mobiles (MI) en forme de disque de 50,8 mm de diamhtre sur le contact gaz-solide dans un grand lit fluidis6 bidimensionnel au moyen de traceurs non rkactifs.
