The present invention provides an apparatus for the processing of a particulate material, the apparatus comprising: a processing chamber having one or more inlets for admitting particulate material to be processed and one or more outlets for processed particulate material; the processing chamber comprising an annular treatment zone and a plurality of processing fluid inlets arranged in a base of said annular treatment zone and configured so that, in use, jets of processing fluid pass into the annular treatment zone through the plurality of processing fluid inlets to establish a spiral flow of particulate material in the annular processing zone; wherein said one or more outlets for processed particulate material are located in the base of said annular treatment zone and surrounded by said plurality of processing fluid inlets so that the spiral flow of particulate material circulates around said one or more outlets; the processing chamber further comprising means for deflecting a portion of the spiral flow of particulate material in the annular processing zone radially inwards from said spiral flow so that said particulate material leaves the processing chamber through said one or more outlets for processed particulate material.

The present disclosure provides a process for high conversion residue cracking in a circulating fluidized bed reactor while integrating it with the dehydration of ethanol. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an integrated circulating fluidized bed process for the simultaneous dehydration of ethanol and cracking of a hydrocarbon feedstock. By integrating the cracking reactor with ethanol dehydration reactor, more conradson carbon residue feedstock can be processed in cracking reactor while limiting the coke combustor temperature.

In a method for the hydrolysis of liquid, organic substrates (1), the substrate to be hydrolysed is introduced into a circulation loop for heating, where an equal amount of hydrolysed substrate (1) is displaced from the circulation loop (6, 7, 8, 9). An appropriate system can have a circulation loop, a feed device, a circulation pump for generating a circulation flow in the circulation loop, and a heater for heating and reheating the circulation flow.
