Abstract
A circulating fluidized bed reactor comprises a separator including a vortex chamber adjacent the top of the reactor for separating solid material from the flue gases of the reactor. A channel directs flue gases discharged from the reactor and adjacent the top of the reactor in a downward direction. A main portion of the solid material is separated from the gases by a change of flow direction after which the solid material is returned to the lower part of the reactor. The main portion of the gases is directed, after the change of direction, to the vortex chamber where further separation of solid material is effected and the separated solid material is returned to the reactor.
