Mass Transfer Coefficient of Ozone in a Bubble Column

Investigation of Packing Effect on Mass Transfer Coefficient in a Single Drop Liquid Extraction Column

Mass Transfer Studies in Shallow Bubble Column Reactors

Mass transfer studies are carried out in a bubble column with an internal diameter of 14 cm and various static liquid heights. The mass transfer coefficient is evaluated by using an oxygen sorption method. A model considering the gas holdup flushing and the sensor response is used. The interfacial mass transfer area is determined according to the measured bubble size distribution. The liquid-si...

Theoretical Prediction of Mass Transfer Coefficients in a Slurry Bubble Column Operated in the Homogeneous Regime

The classical penetration theory was corrected and then applied for the semi-theoretical prediction of mass transfer coefficients kLa in a slurry bubble column operated in the homogeneous regime. The gas-liquid contact time was expressed as a ratio of bubble surface to the rate of surface formation. These terms were defined for the case of oblate ellipsoidal bubbles formed under homogeneous flo...

Detailed modeling of hydrodynamics, mass transfer and chemical reactions in a bubble column using a discrete bubble model

A 3D discrete bubble model is adopted to investigate complex behavior involving hydrodynamics, mass transfer and chemical reactions in a gas–liquid bubble column reactor. In this model a continuum description is adopted for the liquid phase and additionally each individual bubble is tracked in a Lagrangian framework, while accounting for bubble–bubble and bubble–wall interactions via an encount...

Gas-Liquid Interfacial Area, Bubble Size and Liquid-Phase Mass Transfer Coefficient in a Three-Phase External Loop Airlift Bubble Column

The interfacial area a was measured by the sulfite oxidation method in a three-phase external loop airlift bubble column suspending completely the different concentrations of ion exchange resin particles in aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solutions with a wide range of viscosity. The column had been previously studied for the circulating liquid velocity UL, gas holdup G and volumetric gas...
