Background: The process of thermal decomposition of dichloromethane (DCM) and chlorobenzene (MCB) during the combustion in an inert, bubbling fluidized bed, supported by LPG as auxiliary fuel, have been studied. The concentration profiles of C6H5CI, CH2Cl2, CO2, CO, NOx, COCl2, CHCl3, CH3Cl, C2H2, C6H6, CH4 in the flue gases were specified versus mean bed temperature.
Results: The role of preheating of gaseous mixture in fluidized bed prior to its ignition inside bubbles was identified as important factor for increase the degree of conversion of DCM and MCB in low bed temperature, in comparison to similar process in the tubular reactor.
Conclusions: Taking into account possible combustion mechanisms, it was identified that autoignition in bubbles rather than flame propagation between bubbles is needed to achieve complete destruction of DCM and MCB. These condition occurs above 900°C causing the degree of conversion of chlorine compounds of 92-100%.

Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) content is a critical quality attribute (CQA) of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) prepared by spraying a solution of APIs and polymers onto the excipients in fluid bed granulator. This study presents four methods for quantifying API content during ASD preparation. Raman and three near-infrared (NIR) process analysers were utilized to develop methods for API quantification.

Drying is a crucial unit operation within the functional foods and biopharmaceutical industries, acting as a fundamental preservation technique and a mechanism to maintain these products' bioactive components and nutritional values. The heat-sensitive bioactive components, which carry critical quality attributes, necessitate a meticulous selection of drying methods and conditions backed by robust research. In this review, we investigate challenges associated with drying these heat-sensitive materials and examine the impact of various drying methods.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how adding sugar and sugar alcohol binders in the fluidized-bed agglomeration process affects the physical properties of milk protein isolate (MPI) and guar gum (GG) mixtures.
- The agglomerated mixtures, known as AMGs, were found to have larger, more porous particles that improved solubility and flowability compared to non-agglomerated mixtures (NMG).
- However, AMGs had lower apparent viscosity and viscoelastic properties than NMG, which decreased further with more binder concentration, indicating a change in interaction between the protein and gum.
