Abstract: An 8.5 cm i.d. column was employed to measure in air the minimum fluidization velocity and the terminal velocity of different sodium carbonates particles of mean size ranging from 0.14 mm to 0.72 mm. Based upon the amassed experimental data, correlations were developed to estimate these fundamental fluidization characteristics which delineate modes of gas-solid contacting.
