The experiments were carried out in a fluidized bed of 56 mm in diameter and 1 600 mm in height to determine the fluidization characteristics of four sizes of printed circuit board plastic (PCBP) particles. It indicates that the fluidization characteristics of PCBP particles depend on the average size and particle type. 123 mu m PCBP particles (1#), belonging to Geldart A group with strong viscous force, whose fluidization behaviours was similar to those of Geldart C, was difficult to fluidize. Whereas, 275 mu m (2#), 354 mu m (3#), and 423 mu m (4#) PCBP particles, belonging to Geldart B, were fluidized smoothly. The bed collapsing process is composed of three stages: the bubble escaping stage, the sedimentation stage, and the solid consolidation stage. The collapsing process of 1# PCBP particle lasts 6 s or long. 2#, 3#, and 4# PCBP particles, Geldart group B particles, collapse process consists of the bubble escaping stage and the solid consolidation stage. The minimum fluidization velocities from modified Ergun Equation were agreement with experimental data for 2#, 3#, and 4# PCBP particles.
