Use of immobilized enzymes in an expanded or fluidized bed has certain advantages over use of immobilized enzymes in a fixed bed. The most important advantages of such operations are that plugging is totally avoided and that it is possible to use substrates containing particulate materials. In spite of these advantages, almost all industrially enzyme-catalyzed continuous processes in which immobilized enzymes are used are performed in fixed bed, among other reasons because in an expanded or fluidized bed the particles having enzymatic activity are worn down during operation as a result of collisions between the individual particles. 1, record 2, English, - fixed%20bed

[Roy Jackson. Princeton University.] My main current interest is in developing equations of change that describe the motion of a granular material and the fluid that occupies its interstices, and using these equations in the solution of problems of practical importance, such as fluidized beds; standpipe flow and particle circulation systems; shear flows, chutes, and landslides; and transport of gas and particles in pipes. We have been successful in elucidating the structures that dominate the behavior of fluidized suspensions and in applying these insights to practical flows. 3, record 3, English, - fluidized%20suspension

Nous utilisons depuis un certain nombre d’années le lit fluidisé comme un outil d’étude de la sédimentation de particules macroscopiques(de rayon R >> 1µm) dans un fluide visqueux(sédimentation à faible nombre de Reynolds particulaire). Le lit fluidisé, dans lequel un écoulement ascendant de fluide compense, en moyenne, la sédimentation des particules, permet en effet d’obtenir une suspension stationnaire dans le référentiel du laboratoire(pas de vitesse moyenne des particules), avec de plus une concentration contrôlable simplement par le débit imposé dans le lit. Dans un tel système, la «vitesse de convection» de la suspension(vitesse de la suspension moyennée en volume, indépendamment de la nature de la phase, solide ou liquide) est égale en moyenne à la vitesse débitante imposée dans le lit, mais présente dans une section horizontale, un profil non-trivial, dont la connaissance est une étape clé de la description des suspensions fluidisées. 1, record 3, French, - suspension%20fluidis%C3%A9e

La filtration est une technique dont le principe consiste à forcer le passage du liquide chargé en matières en suspension au travers d’un milieu poreux qui retient à sa surface ou dans sa masse les particules solides et ne laisse passer que le liquide clarifié.
