Abstract
Process for sampling particulate matter in a downwardly movable bed thereof which is successively contacted by two different process gases, the second of which is moving upwardly, in such a manner that the particulate matter sampled will be fully representative of particles which have been fully contacted by the first process gas but which have not been contacted by the upwardly moving second process gas. The particulate matter is passed downwardly in the shape of an annular bed through a first annular treatment zone while the major portion of the first process gas is passed through the annular bed in a radially inward direction. The annular bed is then passed downwardly along with a small amount of the first process gas from the first treatment zone through an elongated transition zone and into the radially outermost upper portion of a generally cylindrical second treatment zone. A second process gas is then passed upwardly through the second treatment zone while being prevented from entering the transition zone. Sampling is done in the transition zone.
