Fluidized Column Operations. Column contactors, when operated with the feedstream in a downflow mode, are poorly suited to handle fermentation slurries because of the excellent filtration characteristics of packed resin beds. For such slurries it is preferable to use a fluidized bed of resin such as is shown in Fig. 33 While most of the commercial applications discussed in the literature pertain to slurries of uranium tailings and paper mill effluent, the equipment may be adapted for use in treating fermentation broths.
