The hydrodynamics of a three-phase micro-packed bed reactor and its effect on catalysed benzyl alcohol oxidation with pure oxygen were studied in a silicon–glass microstructured reactor. The microreactor was operated at 120 °C and 1 barg and contained a channel with a 300 μm 600 μm cross-section, packed with 1 wt% Au–Pd/TiO2 catalyst, 65 μm in average diameter. Improvements in the conversion of...

The purpose of this article is to expand the available knowledge on CO2 transfer across the gas/liquid interface in two ways: (1) propose a new mathematical model to describe the pH dependence of CO2 flux across the gas/liquid interface; and (2) propose new relationships that quantitatively describe the contributions of each of the carbonate species ( 3 2CO H , − 3 HCO , and − 2 3 CO ) to total...

Results of experimental studies of gas hold-up in a liquid stirred mechanically in a reactor, which was equipped with double stirrers on a common shaft, are presented. Coalescing and noncoalescing gas—liquid systems were tested. The measurements were carried out for aqueous solutions of glucose and glucose sirup, as well as for different configurations of dual high-speed impellers. Stirred tank...

Economic pressures continue to force the petroleum industry to seek less expensive alternatives to conventional gravity based separation. The gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC) is a simple, compact, low-cost separator that can provide an economically attractive alternative to conventional separators over a wide range of applications. Although cyclones have long been used for liquid/liquid, s...

recently, due to the very good market in ethane as a feedstock for petrochemical complexes, thereare some plans to make a deep ethane recovery from the gases produced in iran southern fields. inthis work, the feasibility of different technologies for deep ethane recovery from a specified feed gasproduced in one of the iran southern fields is reviewed. three different processes are selected ands...

We present an experimental study of the flapping instability which appears when a coaxial liquid jet is atomized by a cocurrent fast gas stream. When primary atomization does not lead to a total break-up of the liquid jet, it undergoes a largewavelength instability, characterized by very large amplitude oscillations, and can break into large liquid fragments whose typical size is the jet diamet...

In late 1973 a slow release formulation of terbutryne (2-ethylamino-6-methylthio-4-tert.-butylamino-1,3,5triazine) was introduced commercially for the control of water weeds (CIBA-Geigy (Clarosan)). Hence it will be of increasing importance for residue analysts to be able to detect low concentrations of this compound in surface waters. In the work reported here two methods are described, one, h...

An exact analytical solution of the statistical multifragmentation model is found in thermodynamic limit. The model exhibits a 1-st order phase transition of the liquid-gas type. The mixed phase region of the phase diagram, where the gas of nuclear fragments coexists with the infinite liquid condensate, is unambiguously identified. The peculiar thermodynamic properties of the model near the bou...

1-Deoxyglucose (1,5-anhydroglucitol), a metabolite related to diabetes mellitus, was identified in human plasma by gas-liquid chromatography and by gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Plasma polyols were accurately determined with a gas-liquid chromatograph equipped with an all-glass capillary column. The plasma content of 1-deoxyglucose in healthy persons varies with age. Although the...

The corona splash due to the impact of a liquid drop on a smooth dry substrate is investigated with high-speed photography. A striking phenomenon is observed: splashing can be completely suppressed by decreasing the pressure of the surrounding gas. The threshold pressure where a splash first occurs is measured as a function of the impact velocity and found to scale with the molecular weight of ...
