Reactors in which solids can be processed by fluid-solids contact. The reactors include a shell housing a rotatable, movable assembly or rotor for supporting a bed of solids and for displacing the solids from a first location where they are introduced into the reactor to a second location where they are discharged. As the solids are displaced, process fluid is directed upwardly through the bed in a manner which causes the solids to circulate and come into intimate and uniform contact with the process fluid.

Apparatus for processing particulate solids which includes a reactor comprising: a shell, means in said shell comprising a movable assembly for supporting a bed of solids to be processed; means for rotating said movable assembly about a vertical axis to thereby displace the solids in said shell from a first location in said reactor to a second location spaced around the reactor from the first location; an inlet means above said movable assembly through which solids can be charged into said assembly; and deflector means for keeping solids from falling between said movable assembly and said shell to the bottom of the reactor, said movable assembly having an outer wall means for confining, and delineating an outer boundary of, said bed which includes a first member and a second member spaced inwardly from and extending above the first member to form a gap through which solids charged into but falling outside said movable assembly can be reintroduced thereinto and said deflector means comprising a deflector extending inwardly from said shell to said outer wall means to direct solids falling outside said movable assembly through the gap between the first and second members of the outer wall means into the interior of said movable assembly.
