The absorption of carbon dioxide into aqueous ammonia solution using packed column was investigated. The volumetric overall mass transfer coefficients (KGav) for CO2 absorption into aqueous ammonia solutions were evaluated over ranges of main operating variables , that is, upto 16kPa partial pressure of CO2, 61-214 m 3 /(m 2 .h) gas flow rate, 0.753.06 m 3 /(m 2 .h) liquid flow rate, 2%16% ammo...

Investigation of turbulency on the rate of induced liquid circulation, gas hold-up, mixing time and overall gas–liquid volumetric oxygen mass transfer coefficient. The various types of surfactants (containing Brij58, TritonX-405, Tween40, HCTBr) with various concentrations of 1-5 ppm were examined on the operational characteristics of the reactor. In surfactant solutions (in comparison with pur...

Surface transfer and bubble transfer both contribute significantly to oxygen transfer in a diffused aeration system. In the present study, liquid-film-forming apparatus is successfully developed on a laboratory scale to improve considerably the surface transfer via the unique liquid film transfer technique. The experimental results show that the volumetric mass transfer coefficient for liquid-f...

In order to illuminate the effect of the scale on the oxygen transfer in stirred tank reactors, a combined study of the hydrodynamics and the mass transfer has been carried out. The air water system was used to study the behaviour of different impellers against the gas phase and its result in the volumetric mass transfer coefficient. The correct prediction of the rate of oxygen transfer by mean...

The effects and influences of various parameters upon the efficiency and the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficients are important subjects to be studied in most liquid-liquid extraction processes. One of these important parameters is surface active agent (surfactant). In this paper, in order to study the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration on the efficiency and the a...

This work proposes a novel mathematical model based on time conformable derivative convective mass transfer equation to calculate the volumetric oxygen coefficient (kLa) in bioreactor. To validate model, full mixed-level experimental design was proposed with two factors: agitation speed and dispersed phase. The employs derivate order operator (α) electrode constant (kp), which changes use opera...

Models were developed for prediction and interpretation of the observed steady-state axial dissolved oxygen concentration profiles in tall airlift bioreactors. The observed concentration profiles were non-linear because of a combination of hydrodynamic and mass transport factors. The profiles were influenced mainly by the liquid-phase axial dispersion coefficient, the volumetric overall gas–liq...

A bioreactor refers to any manufactured or engineered device that supports a biologically active environment. These kinds of reactors are designed to treat wastewater treatment. Volumetric mass transfer coefficient and the effect of superficial gas velocity, as the most important operational factor on hydrodynamics, in three-phase airlift reactors are investigated in this study. The experiments...
