Abstract
Catalyst attrition in the CFB riser was experimentally investigated in a pilot scale CFB system consisting of a 400 mm diameter riser with a height of 15 m, a return leg and a two-stage cyclone separation. The catalyst loss of the CFB system was measured. In order to discern between attrition occurring in the cyclones and in the riser the system was simulated by a population balance approach which takes the separation efficiency of the cyclone system into account. On the basis of the experimental investigation an empirical correlation for catalyst attrition in the CFB riser has been developed which accounts for the influence of the gas velocity and the catalyst mass in the riser.
