Abstract

Abstract In spite of decades of study and investigation, the research on tomography and electrical resistance tomography (ERT) in particular, remains to be focus of immense scientific significance. ERT provides the ability to measure conductivity distribution inside a process plant and delivers time evolving multidimensional information. Such important and otherwise inaccessible information enhances critical process knowledge whilst improving the design and function of the process equipment. ERT has been employed in a variety of fields including chemical engineering. This paper reviews previous research carried out on the application of ERT within the chemical engineering arena. The applications are classified based on the objective of ERT measurements, the unit operations ERT has been utilized on, the media under examination, and also other technologies and data processing techniques used in combination with ERT. The objective of this taxonomy is to offer the reader with a broad insight into the current situation of ERT related research and developed applications in the chemical engineering field and to assist in the identification of research gaps for future investigation.

电阻层析成像技术在化工中的应用综述

尽管经过了几十年的研究和调查，但对断层扫描，特别是电阻断层扫描(ERT)的研究仍然是一个具有重大科学意义的焦点。ERT提供了测量过程工厂内部电导率分布的能力，并提供随时间变化的多维信息。这些重要的和难以获得的信息增强了关键的工艺知识，同时改进了工艺设备的设计和功能。ERT已被应用于包括化学工程在内的许多领域。本文综述了以前在化学工程领域应用ERT的研究。根据ERT测量的目的、ERT所使用的单元操作、所检查的介质以及与ERT结合使用的其他技术和数据处理技术，对应用进行了分类。本分类的目的是为读者提供对化学工程领域ERT相关研究和开发应用的现状的广泛见解，并协助确定未来调查的研究差距。
