Description

For the characterization of fluidized bed- and hydraulic transport reactors, two radiotracer techniques have been developed permitting the study of mixing phenomena in flowing liquids as well as in beds of fluidized particulate solids. For labelling the aqueous phase, a sup(99m)Tc containing solution obtained by means of a 99Mo isotopic generator has been used. The silica gel employed for fluidization has been activated by thermal neutrons to yield a 24Na tracer derived from its natural sodium content. (author)
