The countercurrent gas fluidized cascade is a novel device for separating mixed granular solids. It embodies counter‐current mass exchange principles similar to those used in distillation or liquid‐liquid extraction. Results are reported for the separation of sand and carbon mixtures under total reflux conditions.
