  • partitions being attached to a vertical [30] Foreign Application Priority Data driving shaft extending along the central axis of the Dec. 20, 1972 working chamber.
  • the partitions ensure the move- 1719485 ment of the loose material along the working chamber from a feeding union to a discharging one.
  • a working chamber with the bottom made in the form of a gas distributing grid and means for feeding gas beneath the gas distributing grid and for discharging gas from the working chamber, as well as a union for feeding loose material
  • said union being disposed at one end of the working chamber, and a union for discharging said loose material at the other end of the working chamber.
  • Partitions are provided in the working chamber, said partitions adjoining walls and the bottom of the working chamber and dividing it subsequently into separate sections.
  • the partitions are fixed to an endless chain roller conveyor which is driven by sprockets also disposed in the working chamber.
  • the roller conveyor is adapted to move the partitions along the working chamber, the path of movement of the partitions lying in a vertical plane so that during the movement of the conveyor each partition traverses the entire space of the working chamber from the union for feeding the loose material in and to the union for discharging the material out of the chamber along the lower run of the conveyor with the leading edge of the partition adjoining the bottom of the working chamber, during its further movement each partition being turned over the sprocket and moved along the upper run of the conveyor in the opposite direction, i.e., toward the union for discharging the loose material.
  • the loose material which is fed through the feeding union disposed in the upper portion of the working chamber tightly fills the space defined between two adjacent partitions and vertical walls of the apparatus.
  • the loose material is shifted by the movable partitions and reaches the gas distributing grid comprising the bottom of the working chamber of the apparatus and under the action of the gas fed beneath the gas distributing grid it is transferred into fluidized state.
  • Moving translatory along with the movable partitions toward the discharging union the loose material while being in fluidized state contacts for required time with the gas and then when reaching the zone of the working chamber where there is no gas distributing grid it is separated from the gas and is discharged out of the apparatus.
  • the gas raises to the upper portion of the working chamber wherefrom it is also discharged out of the apparatus.
  • the degree of fullness of the working chamber by the loose material is very low. Since in this apparatus the transporting partitions pass through different media (either through gas medium, or through fluidized loose material and loose material in its normal non-fluidized state) having different resistance, the force acting on the partitions is variable while the force acting on means driving said partitions is asymmetrical which is detrimental to the life-time of the partitions and the conveyor.
  • the uniformity of fluidization of loose material along the whole width of the working chamber is adversely affected by the fact that the central portion of the working chamber of the conventional device is crossed by the conveyor with the result that the gas entering the working chamber through the gas distributing grid more easily flows upward along the walls of the apparatus than through the central portion thereof.
  • Another disadvantage of the conventional apparatus consists in the difficulty of introduction in a treated fluidized bed of heat exchanging means adapted to maintain and to finely adjust the temperature of the material in said fluidized bed when carrying out exothermal or endothermal reactions.
  • Another disadvantage of the conventional apparatus consists in that it is required to arrange in the working chamber of the apparatus, that is in the zone where reactions take place, complex mechanism used for driving the partitions which is undesirable, particularly when treating aggressive media.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for carrying out continuous physical and chemical processes in fluidized bed of loose material which being simple in structure, makes it possible to easily maintain the predetermined temperature of the loose material during exothermal and endothermal reactions and to treat the material of different gradation including that with particles of irregular shape.

  • the working chamber has a ring-shaped configuration in a horizontal section, while the partitions are fixed to a common driving shaft extending vertically along the central axis of the working chamber.
  • the partitions may be hollow and may be provided in their interior cavities with means for feeding in and discharging out thereof a heat-carrying medium.
  • the means for feeding and discharging the heatcarrying agent in and out of the interior cavities of the partitions may comprise hollow brackets used to conmeet the partitions to the driving shaft which in turn is made hollow and used as a manifold for feeding and discharging the heat-carrying medium.
  • the edges of the partitions facing the walls and the bottom of the working chamber may be provided with elastic scraptars.
  • the walls of the working chamber may be provided with jackets for passing the heat-carrying medium.

  • a cylindrical gas collecting chamber 2 is disposed above the working chamber and adjoins thereto.
  • the bottom of the working chamber 1 comprises a gas distributing grid 3 with gas feeding means disposed beneath the grid, said means comprising a manifold 4 circumferentially divided into separate sealed sections, each of said chambers being provided with an individual gas-feeding connection 5.
  • the gas collecting chamber is closed at the top by a cover 6 provided with means for discharging the gas out of the apparatus, said means comprising connections 7 with baffles 8 located in front of them and adapted to prevent discharging of fine particles of the loose material being treated.
  • union 9 provided in the wall of the working chamber and adapted to feed loose material therein.
  • the discharging of the loose material is performed through a union 10 connected to an outlet opening 11 (FIG. 1 and 2) in the gas distributing grid 3.
  • the working chamber 1 is divided subsequently into separate sections 12 (FIG. 2) by means of partitions 13, the edges of the partitions facing the bottom and the walls of the working chamber 1 being provided with elastic scrapers 14 and 15 (FIG. 1) engaging the bottom and the walls of the working chamber 1.
  • the partitions may be made without the scrapers and to engage with the bottom and the walls of the working chamber directly by its edges (which is not shown in the drawings).
  • the partitions are fixed to a common driving shaft 16 extending vertically along the central axis of the working chamber 1.

  • guide ribs 20 may be provided in the interior cavities of the partitions 13, said ribs ensuring zigzag path for the flow of the heat-carrying medium.
  • the walls of the working chamber 1 may be provided with jackets 21 for passing the heat-carrying medium in order to increase the heat exchanging surface.
  • the number of sections 12 in the apparatus may vary. It is advantageous to locate the union 9 used for feeding the loose material at a distance from the discharging union 10 extending along the working chamber and being greater than the distance between two adjacent partitions 13 which is necessary to prevent the initial loose material from feeding directly into the discharging union l0 bypassing the working chamber.
