The hydrodynamics and the mixing properties in a 15.2 cm diameter x 335.3 cm high stainless steel column with three phases (air, water and coal) in cocurrent upflow were studied. The effect of solids particles size, solids concentration, slurry velocity and gas velocity on gas holdup and heat dispersion coefficients were determined. All the experimental data were correlated empirically and the results were compared with other published literature. Theoretical explanations of some results were provided.
