Date "Fluidized" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1914. (references) |
| Domain | Definition | ||
| Agriculture | A mass of solid particles that is made to flow like a liquid by injection of water or gas is said to have been fluidized. In water treatment, a bed of filter media is fluidized by backwashing water through the filter. (references) | ||

| Fluidized bed | A fluidised bed is formed when a quantity of a solid particulate substance (usually retained in a holding tank) is forced to behave as a fluid; usually by the forced introduction of pressurised gas through the particulate medium. This results in the medium then having many properties and characteristics of normal fluids; such as the ability to free-flow under gravity, or to pumped using fluid type technologies. It reduces the density of the medium; without affecting its elemental nature. Precautions must be taken against producing explosive vapours by combination with this process. (references) | ||
| Fluidized bed combustion | Fluidized bed combustion (FBC) is a technology used in the design of so-called clean coal power plants. FBC can also be used for other solid fuel power plants, such as biomass plants. Fluidized beds suspend solid fuels on upward-blowing jets of air during the combustion process. The result is a turbulent mixing of gas and solids. The tumbling action, much like a bubbling fluid, provides more effective chemical reactions and heat transfer. (references) | ||

| Fluidized bed boiler | Electrical Engineering | A new type of boiler designed to reduce combustion product pollutants and reduce boiler size. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Fluidized bed coating | Metallurgy | Method of applying a coating in which a heated or electrostatically charged article is immersed or passed over a fluidized bed of powdereed coating, the coating material adhering to the hot metal, then heated in an oven to provide a smooth continuous film. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Fluidized Bed Combustion | Energy | A type of furnace or reactor in which fuel particles are combusted while suspended in a stream of hot gas. (FBC). (references) | |
| Fluidized bed combustion | Physics | A process for burning powdered coal that is poured in a liquid-like stream with air or gases. The process reduces sulfur dioxide emissions from coal combustion. (references) | |
| Fluidized bed combustion | Weather | (FBC) Process for burning coal more efficiently, cleanly, and cheaply. A stream of hot air is used to suspend a mixture of powdered coal and limestone during combustion. About 90 to 98 percent of the sulfur dioxide produced during combustion is removed by reaction with limestone to produce solid calcium sulfate. (references) | |
| Fluidized bed dryer | Engineering & Technology | Granules are dried on traces in steam ovens or in a -which employs a hot air blast to float the particulars so that moisture is removed. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Fluidized bed dryer | Mining | A coal dryer that depends on a mass of particles being fluidized by passing a stream of hot air through it. As a result of the fluidization, intense turbulence is created in the mass, including a rapid drying action. The dry coal is withdrawn from the opposite side of the chamber. Fine particles in the feed become entrained in the air and are recovered in a cyclone, while the finest particles may need removal by dry filters or wet scrubbers. The dryer has a high capacity and many are in use in the United States. See also:cascade coal dryer; flash coal dryer;thermal drying. (references) | |
| Fluidized bed freezer | Mechanical Engineering | A trough having a perforated bottom through which an upward flow of cold air entrains the produce, usually of small unit size, and causes it to flow like a fluid. Source: European Union. (references) | |

| Fluidized roasting | Mining | Oxidation of finely ground ore minerals by means of upward currents of air, blown through a reaction vessel with sufficient force to cause the bed of material to become fluid. Reaction between mineral and air is maintained at a desired exothermic level by control of oxygen entry, by admission of cooling water, or by added fuel. Fluidized beds are used in the mineral industry for a number of concentrates, including copper, lead,zinc, and carbonaceous gold ores. (references) | |
