bubble columns are gas- liquid contactors that are widely used in chemical and bio- chemical industries. high mixing that result in high heat and mass transfer rates are amongst their advantages. heat transfer in a bubble column having a bundle of heaters investigated and the variation of heat transfer coefficient with variation in heaters pitch to diameter ratios in a bundle of heaters reporte...

Abstract The gas-liquid-solid mixing characteristics in slurry bubble column were studied using the CFD-PBM model under different cross section coverage ratios of tubes. research shows that with increase proportion area vertical tube, flow field tends to be stable, liquid phase rate becomes faster, and large-scale circulation strengthens, resulting decrease gas holdup. As increases, distributio...

biodegradation kinetics of 4-nitrophenol (pnp) in aqueous solution by a gram negative soil bacterium, ralstoniaeutropha was firstly studied in a small scale batch reactor. the degradation of pnp was evaluated at initial pnp concentrations ranging from 3 mg/l to 14 mg/l. the rate of pnp consumption by the bacterium culture was modeled using monod and contois kinetics in batch condition. pnp degr...

The success of flotation operation depends upon the thriving interactions of chemical and physical variables. In this work, the effects of particle size, bubble size, and collector dosage on the bubble loading in a continuous flotation column were investigated. In other words, this work was mainly concerned with the evaluation of the true flotation response to the changes in the operating varia...

Industrial bubble column reactor for Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis includes complex hydrodynamic, chemical and thermal interaction of three material phases: population of bubbles of different sizes, liquid and catalyst particles suspended in liquid. To simulate FT bubble column, a Computational Fluid Dynamics model is described here. The model is based on Eulerian multifluid formulation and ac...
