Abstract :
Fluidized beds are in use for decades in various industrial as well as other areas providing better efficiency and more effectiveness for processes involved. Its application has been extended to various industrial and non-industrial processes since its advent. In due course, the change in nature and new requirements of processes have necessitated alteration in the fluidized beds for custom use. This work attempts to introduce the pros and cons of the conventional fluidized bed as well as its newer variants.
