A SYSTEM OF SEPARATION OF GAS AND SOLIDS TO SEPARATE A DILUTED CURRENT OF MIXED PHASE OF GAS AND SOLIDS IN PARTICLES

摘要

This invention relates to an apparatus and method for rapidly separating particulate solids from a mixed phase solids-gas stream which may be at velocities up to 150 ft./sec. and at high temperature. Specifically, the device is designed for incorporation at the discharge of solid-gas reacting systems having low residence time requirements and carried out in tubular type reactors. Separation is effected by projecting solids by centrifugal force against a bed of solids as the gas phase makes a 180 DEG directional change, said solids changing direction only 90 DEG relative to the incoming stream.
