The researchers shoveled a wide variety of mixed plastics into the reactor, which were then broken down into useful elements that could be retrieved (in some cases) through distillation.

Pebble-bed reactors use spherical fuel elements (known as pebbles) and a fluid coolant (usually a gas). "There are about 40,000 fuel pebbles in such a reactor," said Ragusa. "Think of the reactor ...

A more recent process improvement simplifies the design to a single fluid-bed reactor, in which the ZSM-5 (Zeolite Socony Mobil-5) catalyst pellets are propelled through the reactor by nitrogen ...

The video displayed on Polynt website, shows the installation of the new fluidized bed reactor from its arrival at the dock in Ravenna to the positioning on its foundation at Polynt. The system used ...

These methods utilize fluidized-bed reactors, where solid particles are suspended in a fluid, allowing for efficient mass transfer and reaction rates. Recent research has focused on optimizing ...

A current focus in the lab includes developing a fundamental understanding of the fluidized bed reactor process used to carry out the coating and improving the process as well as expanding the ...
