Recently, protein-fortified milk powders are being widely consumed in Korea to prevent sarcopenia, and the demand for high-protein food powders is continuously increasing in the Korean market. However, spray-dried milk proteins have poor flowability and wettability owing to their fine particle sizes and high inter-particle cohesive forces. Fluidized bed agglomeration is widely used to improve the instant properties of food powders. This study investigated the effect of fluidized bed agglomeration on whey protein isolate (WPI)-fortified skim milk powder (SMP) at different SMP/WPI ratios. The fluidized bed process increased the particle size distribution, and agglomerated particles with grape-like structures were observed in the SEM images. As the size increased, the Carr index (CI) and Hausner ratio (HR) values of the agglomerated WPI-fortified SMP particles exhibited excellent flowability (CI: <15) and low cohesiveness (HR: <1.2). In addition, agglomerated WPI-fortified SMP particles exhibited the faster wetting time than the instant criterion (<20 s). As a result, the rheological and physical properties of the WPI-fortified SMP particles were effectively improved by fluidized bed agglomeration. However, the fluidized bed agglomeration process led to a slight change in the color properties. The CIE L^* decreased, and the CIE b^* increased because of the Maillard reaction. The apparent viscosity (η_a,10) and consistency index (K) values of the rehydrated solutions (60 g/180 mL water) increased with the increasing WPI ratio. These results may be useful for formulating protein-fortified milk powder with better instant properties.

A laboratory scale fluidized bed reactor was developed to treat the combustion characteristics of some fuels (wood, paper sludge, refuse derived fuel). The aims were to introduce the means of experiment and interpretation of the results and finally determine the particle characteristics on the pyrolysis and combustion process of the fuel. A single particle combustion process in the fluidized bed was closely observed. Understanding experimental facility characteristics and determining parameters were also carried out. The fuel combustion processes were observed by carbon conversion rate, recovery and mean carbon conversion time. They were estimated with the CO, $CO_2$ gas concentration monitored at the exit of the combustor. Fuel drying and pyrolysis process were governed by temperature distribution in the fuel particle. There was a significant overlap of the drying and devolatilization. However, transition process from devolatilization to char combustion seemed to be determined by mechanical solidity of the fuel particle after devolatilization process.

Protein-enriched dairy powder is widely consumed to promote muscle synthesis. Recently, in Korea, elderly people have also begun consuming protein powder products to prevent muscle loss. However, these protein-enriched powders have poor flowability and hydration properties because of the fine particles of spray-dried milk protein powder. Therefore, in this study, the fluidized bed agglomeration process was used to solve these problems. The rheological and physical properties of milk protein isolate (MPI)/skim milk powder (SMP) mixtures were effectively improved via fluidized bed agglomeration. The particle size of the MPI/SMP mixtures significantly increased from 35.7-58 ㎛ to 118-136 ㎛, the flowability level improved from fair (21.4-26.3) to good (15.7-16.3), and the cohesiveness level changed from intermediate (1.27-1.36) to low (1.18-1.19) after fluidized bed agglomeration. In addition, the wetting time of the agglomerated MPI/SMP mixtures was effectively reduced to 4.67-58.3 s by fluidized bed agglomeration. These findings may be useful for manufacturing protein-enriched dairy powders with good instant properties.

Process intensification without any increase in bed requires the exploitation of fluid mechanical phenomena as the basis for elegant solutions to the process engineering problems which result from the need to retain and control the immobilized biomass, and for biomass recovery. The fluidized bed biological reactor provides a solution to these needs. The wastewater treatment characteristics of the fluidized bed was filled with sand media. Indirect aeration were studied experimentally. The researcher was filled with sand particle size(0.60~0.42mm) in three reactors with different section area(A)/height(H), in the state BOD loading 4.5kg-$BOD_5/m^3$ㆍd, and under the fixed state of hydraulic retention time for around 32 minutes.

고체가 연속적으로 주입되고 배출되는 상온 상압 2단 기포 유동층(내경 0.1 m, 높이1.2 m)의 흐름특성을 조사하고, 운전유속범위를 고찰하였다. 고체는 상부 기포 유동층으로 주입되고, 넘쳐서 기계적 혹은 비기계적 밸브가 없이 단순히 농후상 고체 층으로 이루어진 고체 수송관(standpipe, 내경 0.025 m)를 통하여 하부 기포 유동층의 층으로 주입되며, 하부 유동층을 넘쳐서 고체가 배출되었다. 기체는 하부 유동층을 유동화하고 배출된 후 다시 상부 유동층을 유동화하였다. 기체로는 공기를 사용하였고, 고체로는 입도가 큰 입자(< $1000{\mu}m$, 겉보기 밀도 $3090kg/m^3$)와 입도가 작은 입자(< $100{\mu}m$, 겉보기 밀도 $4400kg/m^3$)를 혼합한 입자를 사용하였으며, 혼합비를 변수로 하였다. 하부 유동층 기체가 고체수송관의 고체흐름을 비우고, 우회하는 조건일 때 하부 유동층 유동화 속도를 붕괴속도로 정의하였다. 본 공정의 운전이 가능한 최대기체유속으로 붕괴속도가 사용될 수 있었다. 붕괴속도는 작은 입자 혼합비가 증가함에 따라 증가하여, 30%에서 가장 큰 값을 나타낸 후, 감소하였다. 붕괴속도의 경향은 고체수송관 상단과 하단 사이의 압력차 경향과 유사하였다. 붕괴속도는 벌크밀도(bulk density)와 정체층 공극률의 함수로 나타내졌으며, 벌크밀도가 증가하면 증가하고, 정체층 공극률이 증가하면 감소하였다.

We evaluated the optimal conditions for fluidization of nickel oxide (NiO) and its reduction into high-purity Ni during hydrogen reduction in a laboratory-scale fluidized bed reactor. A comparative study was performed through structural shape analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM); variance in pressure drop, minimum fluidization velocity, terminal velocity, reduction rate, and mass loss were assessed at temperatures ranging from 400 to $600^{\circ}C$ and at 20, 40, and 60 min in reaction time. We estimated the sample weight with most active fluidization to be 200 g based on the bed diameter of the fluidized bed reactor and height of the stocked material. The optimal conditions for NiO hydrogen reduction were found to be height of sample H to the internal fluidized bed reactor diameter D was H/D=1, reaction temperature of $550^{\circ}C$, reaction time of 60 min, superficial gas velocity of 0.011 m/s, and pressure drop of 77 Pa during fluidization. We determined the best operating conditions for the NiO hydrogen reduction process based on these findings.

Synthesis gas is a high valued compound as a basic chemicals at various chemical processes. Synthesis gas is mainly produced commercially by a steam reforming process. However, the process is highly endothermic so that the process is very energy-consuming process. Thus, this study was carried out to produce synthesis gas by the partial oxidation of methane to decrease the energy cost. The effects of reaction temperature and flow rate of reactants on the methane conversion, product selectivity, product ratio, and carbon deposition were investigated with 13wt% Ni/MgO catalyst in a fluidized bed reactor. With the fluidized bed reactor, $CH_4$ conversion was 91%, and Hz and CO selectivities were both 98% at 850$^{\circ}C$ and total flow rate of 100 mL/min. These values were higher than those of fixed bed reactor. From this result, we found that with the use of the fluidized bed reactor it was possible to avoid the disadvantage of fixed bed reactor (explosion) and increase the productivity of synthesis gas.

건식 흡착제를 이용한 유동층 공정에 관한 기술은 이산화탄소 처리 비용을 철강하고 효율적으로 운전될 수 있는 신기술이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 유동층 공정에서 건식 흡착제를 사용할 때 조업변수에 따른 이산화탄소 제어에 대해 살펴보고, 이산화탄소 흡착능과 압력강하에 대해서 고정층 공정과 비교하였으며, 활성탄, 활성 알루미나, 분자체 5A, 분자체 13X의 이산화탄소 흡착능을 각각 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 유동층 공정의 운전을 위한 기초자료를 얻을 수 있었고, 유속이 증가할수록 유동층 공정은 상대적으로 높은 이산화탄소 흡착능과 낮은 압력강하를 지니는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, 분자체 5A는 다른 건식 흡착제들보다 1.1~3.0배 파괴점이 늦게 나타났으며, 1.1~2.7배 높은 흡착능을 보였다.
