The reaction characteristics (the reactant conversion and the yield of the intermediate product) of a parallel consecutive reaction in a fluidized bed were analyzed on the basis of the "Bubble Assemblage Model." The effects of rate constants, particle size and bed diameter upon the reaction characteristics were investigated theoretically. When the rate constants and the size of particles were small, the reaction characteristics for a fluidized-bed reactor closely approached those for a plug-flow reactor and scale-up of the fluidized bed reactor became easy.
