Effects of cyclone and freeboard geometry on solid entrainment loss were investigated with two different types of cyclones and bubbling beds in a gas-solid fluidized bed system. The solid entrainment loss was measured by collected fines during continuous solid circulation condition. Bubbling bed which has an expanded freeboard showed less solid entrainment than the bubbling bed which has a straight freeboard. The cyclone which has a wide gas-solid mixture inlet showed less solid entrainment loss than the cyclone which has a narrow gas-solid mixture inlet. Moreover, the cyclone has a wide gas-solid mixture inlet can capture smaller particles.
