A novel method, the magnetic monitoring was used for particle tracking in batch and continuous fluidized beds. By means of the magnetic monitoring system the spatial coordinates x, y and z and the orientation of the magnetic marked particle are measured. This allows calculation of the particle velocity, the particle acceleration and also the forces and energies acting on the particles both for translation and for the rotation. In the present work, the movement characteristics of the particle were determined. Moreover, the influence of different apparatus and operating parameters on the movement characteristics were investigated.
