The dynamics of the tray solids holdup for a single stage gas‐solid fluidized bed adsorber with a downcomer was studied. The method chosen was based on a material balance of the form \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ L_i - L = \frac{{dH}}{{dt}} $\end{document} and an experimental relationship of the holdup H to the solids flowrate L . When the column to weir diameter ratio was 4.4 and 8.8 this relationship was of the linear form H = H s + τ L implying first order dynamics with time constant equal to τ. The time constant was not affected by the superficial gas velocity but it was shown to be a linear function of the weir height. The weir diameter and the particle density of the solids also showed an effect. Specifically, τ increased with the particle density and with decreasing weir diameter. When the column to weir diameter ratio was increased to 13.5 the holdup to solids flowrate relationship was non‐linear.
