fluidización
- During fluidization, gas is passed through a solid material, causing it to act like a fluid and enhancing its properties.
- fluidization regime
- fast fluidization
Examples
-
Reduced particle size increases the contact surface area, where fast fluidization drives more particles into the freeboard, increasing the contact time, which can finally be operated as a circulating fluidized bed.

Etymology
Fluidization comes from fluid meaning 'flow' plus -ize meaning 'make' and -ation meaning 'the act of'. So, fluidization can be remembered as 'making something flow', which fits the technical sense of making a solid act like a liquid or gas by passing a fluid through it.
