Abstract

A fluid is introduced into a bed of a material to be fluidized along the bottom surface thereof at a pulsating velocity which is by an order of magnitude greater than the velocity of fluidization. Such method can be carried out in a fluidization apparatus having a per se known distributor the orifices of which are overlapped by reeds which vibrate when a pressure fluid is introduced into a bed above the distributor.
