Volumetric liquid-phase mass transfer coefficient in gas-sparged three-phase stirred vessel.

Gas–liquid mass transfer in stirred tanks

“…Prior literature (Kojima et al, 1987;Costa Novella et al, 1982;and the Van? Riet review, 1979) indicate that k,a, depends upon specific aspects of the stirred system, including design and location of the sparger and baffles, shape and location of the impeller, and diameter and height of the vessel.…”

“…Van't Riet (1979) has reviewed various procedures. Recently, Kojima et al (1987) developed a different method, based upon the continuous flow of gas and liquid, that does not require measurement of the concentration in the vessel.…”

Equilibrium Solubility of CO2 in Aqueous Potassium Taurate Solutions: Part 1. Crystallization in Carbon Dioxide Loaded Aqueous Salt Solutions of Amino Acids

“…It should be noted that, above the α crit value, the solid fraction (hold-up) in the solution increases proportionally with the CO 2 loading and there seems to be a definite relationship between the CO 2 loading and the value of k L a . For solid particles of size greater than the film thickness (i.e., greater than ∼200 μm), a number of studies have correlated the experimental data of k L a and solids hold-up (ε s ) using relations similar to the following , where A and B are constants. For the present case, where there is most probably a distribution in the size of solid particles, the actual mechanism behind the decrease in k L a for loading above α crit could be quite complex, and it is beyond the scope of the present work to investigate this issue in detail.…”
