Fluidized-bed combustion
A method of burning fuel in which the fuel is continually fed into a bed of reactive or inert particles supported by upflowing air, which causes the bed to behave like a turbulent fluid. Fluidized beds have long been used for the combustion of low-quality, difficult-to-burn fuels and more recently have been developed for the clean burning of coal.
