往复振动筛板塔对低界面张力体系萃取过程的强化

对低界面张力体系正丁醇-丁二酸-水在往复振动筛板塔中的萃取性能进行研究,体系中水为萃取剂,萃取正丁醇中的丁二酸。实验考察了两相流速、相比、传质方向和筛板振动速率对流体力学性能和传质性能的影响,并且与相同操作条件下固定筛板萃取塔的性能作对比。结果表明,筛板振动速率不高于3.5 cm/s的情况下体系没有发生乳化现象,相比增大到2.8时接近液泛点,实验稳定性较差。流速和相比增大能够获得更好的液滴分布和更大的体积传质系数,但增大的幅度要综合考虑设备的最大通量和两相在塔内的停留时间。分散相到连续相的传质方向传质相界面积大,更有利于提高传质效率。相同操作条件下,连续相中的轴向混合远大于分散相的轴向混合。与固定筛板塔的萃取性能相比,振动筛板改善液滴分布、增大处理能力和强化传质的作用都很明显。     

气-液-液萃取的流体力学研究

在液-液萃取过程中,提高分散相的表面更新速率可有效提高萃取的传质效率。研究发现,在萃取过程中使用气体搅拌可以增加液液之间的接触面积,促进液相内的湍动和循环。本文研究了气-液-液三相下油滴的流动形态,并对不同填料的流体力学性能进行了测定。实验结果表明,气相速度的增加可导致气含率、液含率的增加,从而提高分散相在填料萃取塔中的停留时间,在一定的速度范围内明显降低萃取的表观传质单元高度,极大地强化传质效果。通过与散装填料对比,发现规整填料更利于强化萃取效果,其液泛速度平均增加25%。

脉冲筛板萃取塔CFD-PBM模型研究

脉冲筛板萃取塔是核工业等领域中最常用的萃取设备之一，为深入了解脉冲筛板萃取塔中两相流行为规律，使用CFD-PBM模型对脉冲筛板萃取塔中由有机相(30%TBP-正十二烷)、水相(HNO₃水溶液)组成的体系进行两相流过程模拟分析，模拟结果与实验数据吻合较好，分散相存留分数和Sauter平均液滴直径的相对偏差仅为8.28%和5.54%；随脉冲速度增加，Sauter平均液滴直径减小，液滴直径分布更均匀，分散相存留分数增加，特性速度减小；两相表观速度对液滴直径影响较小，分散相表观流速增加有利于提高分散相存留分数，而连续相表观流速影响不大；发生液泛时分散相液泛表观速度随连续相液泛表观速度增大而减小，随脉冲速度增加液泛通量先增后减，存在极值。     

大孔筛板塔的研究(初步报导)

筛板塔是工业上应用较早的一种气液传质设备,它与泡罩塔差不多是同时出现的。与泡罩塔比较,筛板塔的生产强度大(空塔气速上限高,板间距小,板效率高),阻力小,结构简单,造价低。 在筛板塔中,依靠气体通过筛孔时所具有的动能托住塔板上的液层,使液体不从筛孔漏下而水平地流过整个塔板,从而保证气液的良好接触。当气体通过筛孔的速度不够大时,大量液体从筛孔漏下,造成气液接触不良,使传质效果恶化。所以,筛板塔的操作范围较窄,     

鼓泡破泡一体化高效精馏塔盘流动特性与CFD模拟

就痕量精馏中塔板传质效率低、需强化气液传质的问题,研究者提出了新型鼓泡破泡一体化高效精馏塔盘,通过在筛板上泡沫层高度范围内设置一层破泡装置,打破大气泡,减小气泡体积,强制界面进行更新,从而提高传质效率。采用双欧拉模型分别对鼓泡破泡一体化塔盘和筛板进行了气液流场的数值模拟,并对模型进行了验证。对比两种塔板的计算结果可以看出：在相同操作条件下,破泡装置将大气泡破裂成无数小气泡,使高气含率区域面积较普通筛板进一步增大,且气含率梯度变化更均匀;增加破泡装置后,在相同气速条件下气泡上升速度下降,气体在液层中的滞留时间延长,使鼓泡层高度增加,可显著提高传质效率,且降低了气体雾沫夹带量;破泡装置还明显改善了气相的纵向分布,气含率由塔板底部向上逐渐增大且存在明显分界;破泡装置附近湍动较剧烈,气泡破碎喷出的气体会进一步撕裂液膜,气体破碎作用会抑制气泡聚并,促进界面的快速更新更有利于传质过程的进行。研究结果可对工业塔板设计和优化提供指导。     

气-液-液萃取传质效率的研究

在液-液萃取过程中,提高分散相的表面更新速率可有效提高萃取的传质效率.研究发现,在萃取过程中使用气体搅拌可以增加液液之间的接触面积,促进液相内的湍动和循环.据此,本文在气-液-液萃取条件下对不同填料的传质性能进行了测定.实验表明,通入气相后分散相液滴呈现稳定的“油包气”空心状态,这种结构大大降低了分散相液滴的传质层厚度,减小了传质距离,极大地强化传质效率.在适宜气速下,气-液-液萃取效率较传统萃取效率提高20％～40％.通过与散装填料对比,发现规整填料更利于强化萃取效果,传质效率提高约50％.

Effects of Gas‐Agitation and Packing on Hydrodynamics and Mass Transfer of Extraction Column

The effects of gas‐agitation and packing on hydrodynamics and mass transfer were investigated through experiments with air‐kerosene (benzoic acid)‐water system and corrugated‐packing of calendering plate with hole. The holdup of gas, holdup of dispersed liquid phase and mass transfer coefficient increase and the flooding velocity decrease with the increase in superficial gas velocity. Over‐agitation of gas causes over‐dispersion and emulsification of dispersed liquid phase, reduction of mass transfer performance and even flooding. The mass transfer performance of a packed column is far better than that of an unpacked column.

利用Turbulent–Lehr组合模型对装配水平筛板的气升式反应器进行了计算流体力学(CFD)模拟，研究水平筛板对气含率、气泡直径、体积传质系数(kLa)和气液流速的影响。结果表明，筛板对气相的囤积作用和对液相的阻碍作用增加了反应器的整体气含率。筛板对气相的二次均布作用减弱了筛板和液面之间区域的气泡聚并过程，筛板筛孔对气泡的破碎作用产生了大量小于初始直径的气泡，增加了气泡比表面积(a)；筛板对液相的阻碍作用提高了筛板附近的气–液相流动速度差，从而提高了该区域的液膜传质系数(kL)，强化了反应器内的气液传质效果。     

Flooding and drop size in a pulsed disc and doughnut extraction column

The hydrodynamic behavior of a pulsed disc and doughnut column has been investigated using three different systems in the absence of mass transfer. Sauter-mean drop diameter (d₃₂), flooding velocity and holdup at flooding have been measured at different operating conditions. The following operating variables have been studied: pulsation intensity and flow rate of both liquid phases. As expected, smaller mean drop sizes are obtained with the increase of pulsation intensity. The results also show no significant effect of continuous phase flow rate on mean drop size, which increases with increase of dispersed phase flow rate for the operating conditions investigated. A single correlation for the prediction of d₃₂ in the mixer-settler, transition and emulsion regimes of operation is proposed with a mean deviation of 7.32%. The maximum throughput is influenced mainly by pulsation intensity and interfacial tension. Two precise correlations are proposed for predicting flooding velocities in this column. The first is based on operating variables, column geometry, and system physical properties. The second one considers the same variables, except column geometry. Good agreement between prediction and experiments is found for all operating conditions investigated.     

Steady state hydrodynamics and mass transfer characteristics of a karr extraction column

The steady state hydrodynamics of the holdup in a 15 cm column agree quite well with mechanistic predictions at conditions approaching flooding. In the presence of mass transfer (acetic acid from the dispersed kerosene phase to the continuous water phase), the holdup data below flooding are not well predicted by the model due to enhanced droplet coalescence. The prediction of holdup at flooding is a function of the ratio of the flow rates but is independent of the physicochemical properties of the extraction system, and therefore can be used to estimate the flooding holdup regardless of the occurrence of mass transfer. In the second part of the paper, steady state mass transfer characteristics of the column were also simulated using a mechanistic model. Despite the difficulty of estimating parameters such as the mass transfer coefficient, the model curves could be arbitrarily adjusted to fit observed exit concentrations. These steady state results provide useful insights on the non-linearity of the system from a control viewpoint.     

EFFECT OF MASS TRANSFER ON FLOODING AND HOLDUP IN A KARR COLUMN

This work considers flooding and dispersed phase holdup, with and without mass transfer, in a 7.6?cm diameter reciprocating plate extraction column using the liquid system toluene-acetone-water. The present flooding data in respect to the absence of mass transfer were well correlated by the hydrodynamic model based on the dispersion of drops by turbulent energy dissipation. During mass transfer the flooding characteristics were found to be dependent on the direction of mass transfer.

Dispersed phase holdup data were obtained by two different measuring techniques. Local holdup was found to vary with column height, while the overall holdup depended on agitation speed, phase throughputs and mass transfer direction. The holdup data thus obtained are compared with data published for the case without mass transfer, and new correlations are presented.     

Development of airlift bubble column dispersed with micro‐bubbles

Micro‐bubbles were dispersed in the bubble column with draft tube, and the length and diameter of draft tube were changed. The flow characteristics in air–water system were measured. Ozone gas and methylene‐blue aqueous solution were used, and the decomposition performance was examined. With increasing draft tube length, both the gas holdup and liquid velocity in the annular section increased. When the diameter ratio of draft tube to column was about 0.5, both the gas holdup and liquid circulation flow rate had maxima. For the decomposition by using ozone, the installation of draft tube enhanced the mass transfer and decomposition performance.     

Comparison of the Performance of a Pulsed Disc and Doughnut Column with a Pulsed Sieve Plate Liquid Extraction Column

Abstract

The hydrodynamic and mass‐transfer performance of a 75 mm diameter pulsed disc and doughnut column (PDD) and a pulsed sieve‐plate column (PSP) are presented and compared for a toluene–acetone–water system under similar operating conditions. It was found that the pulsed disc and doughnut column flooded earlier than the pulsed sieve‐plate column, indicating that the total throughput per unit cross‐sectional area through the pulsed disc and doughnut column was less. At similar operating conditions (i.e., flowrates, pulse frequency, and amplitude), the mass‐transfer performance of the pulsed disc and doughnut column was higher, and its holdup higher. The mass‐transfer performance of the PSP column, when compared at similar holdup to the PDD, was found to be higher, and so it is concluded that it is a more efficient column for this system.     

Dispersed phase holdup and slip velocity of phases in a pulsed packed column in conditions with and without mass transfer

Dispersed phase holdup and slip velocity of phases were measured in a pilot plant pulsed packed column with a diameter of 76.2 mm for two different chemical systems in conditions with and without mass transfer. The effects of pulsation intensity, dispersed and continuous phases flow rates, interfacial tension and solute concentration on dispersed phase holdup and slip velocity of phases were investigated. A new empirical correlation in terms of the above‐mentioned parameters developed from the measurements is given for the prediction of slip velocity. The dispersed phase holdup was calculated by means of this correlation and very good agreement between calculated and experimental values was obtained.
