Abstract

Gas holdup and gas-liquid mass transfer were investigated in a vertical baffled column. Pure carbon dioxide (C02) was used as the dispersed phase and tap water was used as the continuous phase. Gas holdup and mass transfer rate of C02 were measured under semi-batch condition, while the liquid phase was measured in batch mode. Gas holdup was estimated as the volume fraction of the gas in the two-phase mixture in the column. Mass transfer was expressed in terms of the liquid-side volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa). The effects of oscillation frequency, oscillation amplitude and gas flow rate on gas holdup andmass transfer were also determined. The results showed that a significant increase in gas holdup and mass transfer could be achieved in an oscillatory baffled column compared to a bubble column. Gas holdup and mass transfer were correlated as a function of power density and superficial gas velocity. Keywords: gas holdup, mass transfer coefficient, power density, superficial gas velocity

Abstract

Oscillatory flow in a baffled tube/column is an efficient way to enhance mixing in a straight smooth column. However, liquid oscillation moving back and forth across the baffle causes backmixing which is a disadvantage when plug flow is desired. This paper presents results from a study conducted to reduce the backmixing rate in oscillatory flow in a baffled column with the use of a draft tube. Results of this study showed that backmixing increases with oscillation velocity and decreases with liquid flow rate. The use of a draft tube reduces backmixing. The backmixing reduction is proportional to the ratio of L/Do However, the draft tube can not be extended too long because it disrupts the flow behavior in the column and creates dead zones near the baffle region. The draft tube length is maximized by extending it to both sides of the baffle, provided that the L/De on each side of the baffle is at 0.67 or less.
