Resumen en inglés Particles with a size distribution in the range of 34 to 468 µm were fluidized in a three-phase bed using low liquid and gas velocities. Particle size distribution and pressure profile measurements were carried out at different locations in the bed in order to study the influence of fluid velocities on segregation and dispersion of particles in different size classes. The influence of gas velocity on particle mixing was analyzed in terms of internal solid fluxes, calculated by means of the wake model. Based on the experimental results, different particle distribution patterns were identified. Although no significant tendencies were observed for radial profiles, particles of different sizes have significantly different axial profiles, which are mainly affected by the velocity of the liquid phase. Thus, depending on the liquid velocity, smaller particles reach a maximum concentration at different bed heights
