Introductory Theory on Fluidization Introductory Theory on Fluidization 2. THEORY 2.1 Packed columns and Fixed Beds A packed column consists of specifically shaped particles contained within a column. Generally a packed column is used to bring two phases in contact with one another. Normally one fluid will wet the packing and flow as a film.
