Abstract:
    The invention relates to an apparatus (50) method for the supply of hot solid particles, preferably hot spent substrate particles, to a retorting vessel (46) for the extraction of hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon-containing substrate. The apparatus comprises a slide arranged at an angle, for example at an angle of 5 DEG to 10 DEG to the horizontal plane, said slide (52) having a bottom and fluidization means in or close to the bottom, means for the supply of fluidization gas to the fluidization means of the slide, one or more draw-off vessels (53, 54, 55, 56, 57) below the slide, which draw-off vessels are in communication with the slide (52) and with corresponding inlets (41, 42, 43, 44, 45) for hot solid particles of the retorting vessel (46). Fluidization means are present in each draw-off vessel and furthermore means for the supply of fluidization gas to the fluidization means of each draw-off vessel are present.
