A fundamental understanding of such viable reaction systems for the thermal oxidation of organic liquids entrapped (absorbed) within porous solids is still lacking. The hydrodynamic behavior of the "g"-"s" suspensions with such polluted (wet and sticky) particles will be explored with the aid of pressure fluctuations also with respect to their unwanted tendency to stick together and lie down. Hitherto unexplored, inert and porous particles soaked in model organic compounds will be fired in a bench-scale, fluid-bed reactor operated in different regimes. Experimental and modeling efforts seek to explain and describe the dependence of the reactor's combustion efficiency as a function of residence time, excess air, operating temperature and particle size. The study focuses on the overall picture of formation and oxidation destruction of main gaseous pollutants (NO, NO2, N2O, CO, organic residuals, persistent organic pollutants, SO2, and HCl) and their interrelationships.
