Spouted bed technology has been widely used for a variety of applications, such as drying, coating, granulation and chemical reactors for catalytic and/or non-catalytic reactions. To optimize the design and operation of spouted beds, the different flow regimes and their transitions in spouted beds should be well characterized and defined. Previous recognition of spouted bed flow regimes reported in the literature had usually been obtained from visual observations, which inevitably introduced some arbitrariness and subjectivity. Moreover, most industrial vessels are not transparent and visual observations are even impossible. Thus new nonvisual approaches are required. Although pressure fluctuation analysis has been extensively utilized in fluidized beds, its applications to spouted beds are sparse. As demonstrated by the previous research work in the research group of this contribution (Wang et al, 2001), pressure fluctuation analysis appears to be a promising technique for spouted bed regime identification.
