The elutriation characteristics of flotsam for the size distribution of jetsam were investigated in continuous binary system with different density in a fluidized bed. In a fluidized bed of sand and PMMA(poly methyl metacrylate), sand was used as jetsam and PMMA as flotsam. Elutriation rate of flotsam, size distribution of elutriated particles and pressure fluctuations were measured for the size distribution of jetsam and elutriation rate of flotsam depended largely on the size distribution of jetsam. Using these results, it was found that elutriation of fine particles was partially reduced by controlling site distribution of jetsam. Fluidization characteristics were greatly influenced by the size distribution of jetsam and flotsam and these characteristics could be interpreted with standard deviation of pressure fluctuations.
