Abstract (EN):
Research and applications of magnetically stabilized and fluidized beds begun several decades ago, and have maintained their rate of interest during all these years. During last years their applications was diversified, and the application of these beds in the processing of biological materials and in environmental issues has nowadays focused the main attention within this area. In this work we present a brief review of magnetically fluidized and stabilized beds, mainly concerning their theoretical background, heat and mass transfer topics, some industrial and laboratorial setups and applications.
