Effect of Solid Particles on the Slurry Bubble Columns Behavior – A Review

A wide-ranging review is presented on the most focal aspects of gas-liquid-solid reactors to discuss fresh headways towards understanding slurry bubble column reactors' behavior. In more detail, in this critical review, published works' findings concerning effects solid particles characteristics (size, concentration and density) volumetric mass transfer coefficient, liquid-side gas-liquid interfacial area, gas hold-up flow regime are deliberated. Besides, other pivotal parameters such as pressure, temperature, reactor size, height liquid, distributor, density, viscosity performance considered. Eventually, regarding each aforementioned reactor, logical conclusions drawn.
