bubble hydrodynamics. A specific approach was proposed for estimating the mass transfer coefficient in such a configuration. It was found that the mass transfer coefficient kL depended on bubble behavior through the packing. Low porosity of packing, bubble size and velocity were the principal parameters influencing the hydrodynamics and mass transfer coefficients at this scale.This study considered a new approach to obtain precise data on biofilter systems, investigate the hydrodynamics and gas-liquid mass transfer at two scales, enriching the database on biofilters and providing new insights that could improve this system in industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
