Catalyst mixing in bubble column slurry reactors

The reported experimental data of Pandit and Joshi (1984) on axial and radial steady-state catalyst concentration in a semibatch bubble column slurry reactor is interpreted by the dispersion model. The elliptic partial differential equation with its associated boundary conditions is solved analytically for catalyst concentration by the method of separation of variables. The proposed model adequately fits the experimental data.     

Analysis of dispersion coefficient of bubble motion and velocity characteristic factor in down and upflow bubble column reactor

Dispersion coefficient of bubble motion based on velocity distribution theory has been analyzed in up and downward gas-liquid two-phase contactor. The intensity of dispersion of phase depends on motion of the dispersed phase and the characteristics of velocity distribution. In this paper the effects of operating and geometric variables on the dispersion coefficient of bubble motion and the characteristic factor of velocity distribution have been analyzed within the range of column diameter 0.10-2.5 m, superficial liquid velocity, 0.04-0.21 m/s and superficial gas velocity 0.41-3.16 mm/s. From the different developed model of longitudinal dispersion coefficient of liquid, comparison of dispersion coefficient of bubble motion and characteristic feature of velocity distribution in down and upflow two-phase contactor has been reported. Also the functionalities of dispersion coefficient of bubble motion and velocity characteristic factor have been developed with operating variables. The condition for dispersion based on velocity pattern has also been discussed in the present work. The present analysis on the dispersion coefficient of bubble motion and velocity distribution factor associated with the knowledge of the liquid phase dispersion in two-phase contactor can give insight into a further understanding and modeling of multiphase reactor in industrial applications.     

Effects of floating contactors on oxygen transfer and hydrodynamics in a bubble column

This study investigates the adoption of floating contactors to promote the rate of oxygen transfer from non-uniform air bubbles to liquid in a bubble column with continuous operation. The volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient and axial dispersion coefficient of a liquid phase have been analyzed based on the axial dispersion model. Attention was focused on the effects of the volume fraction of the floating contactors on the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient, axial dispersion coefficient of a liquid phase, and gas phase hold-up in the bubble column. The results have shown that the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient and gas phase hold-up can increase by up to 25% and 13%, respectively, while the axial dispersion coefficient of a liquid phase decreases by up to 30% by adding floating contactors in the column.     

Effect of resistance internal on hydrodynamic behaviours and bubble characteristics in a laboratory-scale bubble column

A novel resistance internal is proposed to optimize the flow field and improve the gas–liquid contact in a co-hydrogenation reactor of coal and vacuum residuum. Local gas holdup, local liquid velocity, and characteristics of the bubble were investigated in a scaled-down laboratory model. The quantitative results showed that the resistance internals could reduce the thickness of the liquid reflux layer by a percentage up to 32% and reduce the difference in the local gas holdup at cross-sections of up to 44%. The Sauter mean diameter of the bubble decreased from 20.30 to 16.00 mm, which aroused the increase in bubble surface area by a percentage of up to 71.9%. The resistance internal promoted the breakup of the bubble with multiple mechanisms and provided diversion to fluid. In this work, improvement at multiple scales was realized, and the technical support for industrial application was provided.     

Axial dispersion and oxygen transfer in the transition from bubble column to airlift-loop reactor

Axial dispersion and oxygen transfer were investigated in a bubble column (BC) with a circulation loop. A butterfly valve, situated at the bottom of the loop enabled the above-mentioned physical characteristics in the transition regime between typical airlift-loop-reactor (ALR) flow and BC flow to be studied. The Bodenstein number was found to decrease when the liquid velocity was reduced, implicating a less established plug-flow character. The number of circulations required to achieve complete mixing in the reactor was diminished if the liquid circulation was hampered and appeared to be proportional to the Bodenstein number. The volumetric oxygen-transfer coefficient was estimated by an ideally stirred-tank-reactor (STR) model and a plug-flow model. The STR model yielded reliable results for the whole range of operation while the plug-flow model only appeared to be appropriate for the ALR operation mode. The k_La values obtained were included in a generalized correlation for the transition flow regime and were found to increase gradually when the circulation velocity was reduced.     

Mixing in a co‐current upflow bubble column reactors with and without internals

Liquid phase mixing is a phenomenon that results mainly due to convective and turbulent flow fields, which are generated by hydrodynamic interactions between the gas and liquid phases within a continuous co‐current upflow bubble column reactor. The extent of liquid phase mixing is usually quantified through the mixing time, or the axial dispersion coefficient. In the present work, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for mixing and RTD in a continuous bubble column (with and without internals) are performed by using OpenFOAM 2.3.1. The superficial gas velocities were 0.014, 0.088, and 0.221 m/s and the superficial liquid velocities were 0.005 and 0.014 m/s. The simulations have been performed for three different configurations of the bubble column, that is, (a) an open bubble column, (b) a column with one vertical central rod of 36 mm diameter, (c) a column with the same central rod and four vertical additional rods of 12 mm diameter. The effects of superficial gas and liquid velocities and column internals were investigated on liquid phase mixing and the axial dispersion coefficient. Comparisons have been made between the experimental measurements and the CFD simulations.

     

鼓泡塔中气泡尺寸分布和局部气含率研究

在内径为0.38 m的鼓泡塔中采用双电导探针法对不同通气速率下的气泡尺寸分布和局部气含率进行了实验研究,分析了气泡尺寸的概率密度分布。结果表明:气泡尺寸随轴向高度的增加而增大,随径向距离增加而减小;鼓泡塔中气液流动可分为过渡流域和充分发展流域,在过渡流域气含率随轴向高度增加而增大,在充分发展流域气含率趋于均值,径向局部气含率分布呈抛物线型下降。高气速下气泡尺寸概率密度分布比低气速下宽,且随轴向高度的增加分布变宽。     

气体分布方式对带列管内构件的鼓泡塔流动规律的影响

在带列管内构件的鼓泡塔内测量了4种不同布气方式下的气含率和液速径向分布,并与无列管内构件的空塔中的分布进行了比较。结果表明：中心布气条件下气含率与液速的径向分布比空塔更为陡峭;环隙及近壁布气时呈现出环隙高、两边低的马鞍形分布;均匀布气时径向分布较空塔更为平坦。空塔内气体分布器的影响是局部性的,充分发展段在塔内占主要部分;而在列管塔中气体分布器的影响是全局性的,气含率与液速的初始分布决定着其全塔分布。在带列管的大型鼓泡塔中难以观察到充分发展段的存在,因此,气体分布器的设计具有比空塔更为重要的意义     

CFD modeling of flow,macro-mixing and axial dispersion in a bubble column

The flow pattern in a bubble column depends upon the column diameter, height, sparger design, superficial gas velocity and the nature of gas–liquid system. In this paper, the effect of some of these parameters have been simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The relationship of these parameters with the interphase force terms has been discussed. A complete energy balance has been established. Using this methodology, the flow patterns reported by Hills (1974), Menzel et al. (1990), Yao et al. (1991) and Yu and Kim (1991) have been simulated. Excellent agreement has been shown between the CFD predictions and the experimental observations. The above model has been extended to homogenization of an inert tracer. In order to confirm this model, mixing experiments were carried out in a 200 mm i.d. bubble column. A radioactive tracer technique was used for the measurement of mixing time. Tc-99m (^99m Tc), in the form of sodium pertechnate salt, was used as the liquid phase tracer. Good agreement has been shown between the predicted and the experimental values of mixing time. The model was further extended for the estimation of axial dispersion coefficient (D_L). Excellent agreement between the simulated and the experimental values of the axial dispersion coefficient confirms the predictive capability of the CFD simulations for the mixing process.
