Homogeneous fluidization of Geldart's group B solids was investigated in two packed columns (5 and 10 cm OD) whose packing spheres were either 0.41 cm lead shots or 1.1 cm glass beads. Some criteria to obtain regular regimes of homogeneous fluidtzation were fixed and the parameters of the Richardson-Zaki equation which describes the expansion process were identified.
