Process intensification in micro-fluidized bed systems: A review

Micro-fluidized bed (MFB) is a novel technology for engineering processing and screening application due to its good mixing, high mass/heat transfer, reduced reaction time cost, but issues that remain unresolved are the low fluidization quality scalability. In this review paper, fundamental characteristic studies reviewed gain an understanding of miniaturized fluidized system rapid screening. Subsequently, recent progresses MFB applications evaluated compared with other types reactors from perspective process intensification (PI). Finally, challenges prospects PI also discussed.
