Abstract:
A fluid bed reactor including a first, upstream reaction zone having a fluidized bed of particles and a second, downstream heat recovery zone having a fluidized bed of particles. The reactor is designed adjacent the heat recovery zone to withdraw heat from the heat recovery zone at a temperature lower than the temperature in the reaction zone. In operation, the particles in the heat recovery zone cool and quench the effluent from the reaction zone so as to remove fines and volatile elutriates therefrom, rendering the effluent less corrosive and preventing back or side reactions.
