Abstract
This invention is directed to a process for removing catalyst particles from a gas. The invention is particularly suited to separating particles from the gas in a vessel that has a dilute phase zone and a dense phase zone. An acoustic waveform is applied to the dilute phase zone to assist in separating small particles from the gas in the dilute phase zone.
