Abstract
A method is useful for maintaining a uniformly fluidized bed in a fluidized bed apparatus. The method includes the steps of charging a mixture of particles including copper silicide particles and fluidization additive particles into the fluidized bed apparatus, and uniformly fluidizing the particles at a temperature of at least 400° C. in the fluidized bed apparatus.
Claims14
A method maintaining a uniformly fluidized bed in a fluidized bed apparatus comprises:
- (A) heating, at a temperature of at least 400° C., a mixture of particles comprising greater than 80 weight % to less than 100% copper silicide particles and greater than 0 to 20 weight % fluidization additive particles in the fluidized bed apparatus, and
- (B) feeding a fluid into the fluidized bed apparatus at a velocity sufficient to maintain uniform fluidization.
