Experimental and theoretical study on reduced gas holdup with increasing gas flux in a millimeter-micrometer dual-sized bubble column
Bubble column reactors are widely used in industrial applications due to their excellent mass and heat transfer capabilities, where the critical parameter gas holdup is significantly influenced by interactions between bubbles of different sizes. This study investigates the effect of dual-sized bubble interaction on gas holdup in coalescence-inhibited systems. A quantitative comparison between dual-sized and single-sized systems reveals that micrometer-sized bubbles primarily contribute to gas holdup. A non-monotonic trend in system gas holdup is observed when millimeter-sized bubbles are gradually introduced into a fixed micro-bubble system. To explain the phenomenon, a coupled drift-flux model is developed to relate the intermediate decline in gas holdup to the enhanced velocity of micro-bubbles through dual-sized bubble interactions. These findings provide new insights for optimizing bubble column systems, particularly in applications requiring high gas flux and improved gas-liquid mass transfer, such as in wastewater oxidation, 1,4-Butanediol synthesis, and electrolysis processes.
期刊介绍:
ChERD aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in chemical engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in chemical engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in plant or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of traditional chemical engineering.
