MAGNETIC FIELD ASSISTED FLUIDIZATION - A UNIFIED APPROACH Part 7. Mass Transfer: Chemical reactors, basic studies and practical implementations thereof
Part 7 of the series Magnetic Field Assisted Fluidization (MFAF)-A Unified Approach is devoted to chemical reactor design utilizing magnetically assisted fluidized beds. Basic reactor principles well-implemented in the chemical engineering science are used to analyze the existing situation of those special types of mass transfer devices. The hydrodynamics of all systems reviewed in the previous parts of the series (G-S, L-S and G-L-S) serves as a foundation assuring proper understanding of their mass transfer performances. Thorough analysis of MFAF mass transfer studies in both laboratory and pilot scales is performed. Special attention is paid to the attempts to do industrial implementations of MFAF based chemical reactors: trial-error steps, pitfalls and recent achievements. Part 7 refers only to reactor designs and chemical reaction performances whilst magnetically assisted bioreactors are at issue in a separate part of the review series. All these issues make Part 7 a comprehensive review thoroughly investigating one undeveloped, but with a great potential and directly applicable to practice, branch of magnetic field assisted fluidization.
