A fast fluidized bed reactor, comprising an upright reaction chamber for containing a bed of granular material, the chamber having a cylindrical upper region and a lower region; a feeder for feeding matter into the lower region; apparatus for supplying pressurized air to the reaction chamber to fluidize the granular material in the circulating regime, whereby a portion of the granular material is entrained into the upper region; apparatus for tangentially supplying pressurized air to the upper region, the second stream of air being supplied, and the reactor being constructed, in a manner to provide a Swirl number of at least 0.6 and a Reynolds number of at least 18,000 in the upper region, thereby creating a cyclone of turbulence; apparatus for separating the granular material and the reaction gases exiting from the reaction chamber and returning the separated granular material to the lower region; a second fluidized bed fluidized in the bubbling regime and situated in the lower region adjacent a partition formed in the lower region for partitioning the circulating fluidized bed from the second fluidized bed, the second fluidized bed fluidizing the granular material separated from the reaction gases and the partition being situated to permit a portion of the granular material from the second fluidized bed to overflow into the circulating bed; and a heat exchanger immersed in the second fluidized bed.

1. A fluidized bed reactor, comprising: (a) a substantially upright fluidized bed reaction chamber for containing a bed of granular material, said chamber having an upper region and a lower region, said upper region having a cylindrically shaped interior surface; (b) means for feeding matter to be reacted into said lower region of the reaction chamber; (c) means for supplying a first stream of pressurized air to said reaction chamber through a plurality of openings in said lower region at a sufficient velocity to fluidize said granular material in the circulating regime, whereby at least a portion of the granular material is continually entrained upward into said upper region; (d) means for tangentially supplying a second stream of pressurized air to said upper region of the reaction chamber through at least one opening in said cylindrically shaped interior surface, said second stream being supplied, and said reactor being constructed, in a manner adapted to provide a Swirl number of at least about 0.6 and a Reynolds number of at least about 18,000 in said upper region, thereby creating a cyclone of turbulence in the upper region which increases the rate of reaction in said chamber, wherein, at maximum operating capacity for the reactor, the second stream of air constitutes in excess of about 50% of the total pressurized air fed to the reaction chamber; (e) means for separating the granular material and the reaction gases exiting from said reaction chamber at a location adjacent to the upper boundary of said cyclone of turbulence, and returning the separated granular material to said lower region of the reaction chamber; (f) a second fluidized bed fluidized in the bubbling regime and situtated in said lower region of said reaction chamber adjacent a partition formed in said lower region for partitioning said circulating fluidized bed from said second fluidized bed, said second fluidized bed receiving and fluidizing at least a portion of the granular material separated from the reaction gases, said partition being situated so as to permit a portion of the granular material from said second fluidized bed to overflow said partition into said circulating bed; and (g) first heat exchange surface means immersed in said second fluidized bed for removing heat therefrom. 2. A fast fluidized bed reactor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for separating the granular material and reaction gases comprises a cyclone separator operatively connected between said exit port and an inlet port located in said lower region of the reaction chamber, whereby the granular material and reaction gases enter the cyclone separator via said exit port and the separated granular material returns to said lower region via said inlet port. 3. A fluidized bed reactor as claimed in claim 1, further comprising second heat exchange surface means situtated in said circulating fluidized bed in the lower region of the reaction chamber for removing heat from the circulating fluidized bed. 4. A fluidized bed reactor as claimed in claim 3, further comprising boiler means operatively connected to said first and second heat exchange surface means. 5. A fluidized bed reactor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the horizontal cross-sectional area of said upper region of said chamber is larger than that of the circulating fluidized bed in said lower region of said chamber. 6. A fluidized bed reactor as claimed in claim 5, wherein the portion of said lower region of said chamber surrounding the circulating fluidized bed is conically shaped. 7. A fast fluidized bed reactor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for tangentially supplying a second stream of pressurized air to said reaction chamber includes a plurality of openings in said cylindrical interior surface. 8. A fast fluidized bed reactor as claimed in claim 7, wherein said means for tangentially supplying a second stream of pressurized air to said reaction chamber includes a plurality of pairs of oppositely disposed openings in said cylindrical interior surface. 9. A fluidized bed reactor as claimed in claim 8, wherein said plurality of pairs of oppositely disposed openings are vertically aligned and spaced apart throughout said upper region of the reaction chamber. 10. A fluidized bed reactor as claimed in claim 1, further comprising boiler means operatively connected to said first heat exchange surface means. 11. A fluidized bed reactor as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least the portion of said lower region of said chamber surrounding said second fluidized bed is quadrangularly shaped in cross section, when viewed from above.
