Abstract
An apparatus suitable for solids-fluid (e.g. cracking catalyst/hydrogen vapor) separation comprising upwardly directed feed inlet means of which the upper part cooperates substantially tangentially with a housing comprising at least a domed upper section, at least one fluid outlet means which is in fluid communication with a central section of the housing, and downwardly directed solids outlet means in communcaition with at least one solids outlet opening in a lower section of the housing. The invention further relates to a process for separating fluid catalytic cracking catalyst particles from gaseous hydrocarbon conversion products and/or flue gases using said apparatus.
