多相气升式环流反应器局部相含率和环流速度

气升式环流反应器流动特性研究大多都局限于流动参数的平均特性研究,涉及气-液-固系统流动特性的研究也较少。在200×2500mm气升式环流反应器内,实验研究了空气-水两相及空气-水-玻璃珠三相体系中局部气、固相含率以及浆(液)相环流特性等随操作条件以及液、固相物性的变化规律。结果表明:1两相体系导流筒中截面平均气含率轴向分布有局部极大值,而固体和乙醇的加入使得气含率轴向分布平缓;2两相体系循环液速在导流筒中呈径向抛物分布,在环隙分布较均匀,加入固体和乙醇后对循环速度分布和大小影响不大;3三相体系中导流筒内固含率沿轴向升高呈增大趋势,环隙内轴向分布均匀;导流筒内、外固含率径向分布均不均匀,以近壁处为大;加入乙醇后对固含率分布影响不大。

在一个体积为8L（直径96mm,高为1800mm）带导流筒的气升式反应器内,模拟两相（空气-水,空气-水-乙醇）系统和三相（空气-水-玻璃珠,空气-水-乙醇-淀粉）系统,改变给气流量,导流管直径,乙醇浓度,玻璃珠直径,固含率,淀粉含量,系统温度,以及操作方式考察了以上因素对气升式反应器内循环液速的影响。研究表明：随着上升气体表观速度的增加,导流简直径的增加,床内循环液速也增加;在固含率一定条件下,固含物粒径烊大,循环液速也越大;溶液浓度增加,循环液速也增加;床层中的固含率增加,而循环液速减小;系统温度增加,循环液速增加;环隙给气方式可以与中心导流简给气方式都可采用,但是环隙给气时怕循环液速小于中心导流筒给气方式的循环液速。     

强制浆液外循环三相气升式内环流反应器的气含率特性

在有机玻璃制成的组合反应器(φ0.284×3.0 m)内,采用空气、水和玻璃微珠(密度为2420 kg/m3和平均粒径为5.92×10-4 m)的气液固三相体系考察了不同表观气速下环流反应器内不同流动区域的径向局部气含率和内、外环轴向平均气含率分布特性.局部气含率采用电导探针法测定,轴向平均气含率由局部气含率的截面积分得出.结果表明气含率均随表观气速的增大而增大;外环循环流入内环的气泡量少;在相同条件下外环的气含率远远低于内环的气含率.浆液外循环的引入和新型气体分布器的采用可以增大导流筒内气体与浆液两相的接触面积和湍动强度,从而使传递过程得到了强化.     

气升式环流反应器流动特性的数值模拟

应用Fluent计算流体力学软件,通过数值模拟的方法考察了气升式环流反应器内导流简直径、导流筒高度、导流筒安装高度以及液相进口速度对反应器内两相流动的影响。计算结果表明：导流简直径增大。液相循环量和上升段气含率均增大;导流筒高度增大,液相循环速度和循环量均增大,但是当导流筒的高径比增加到6．3后,液相循环速度和循环量反而减小;导流筒安装高度增加．液相循环速度及循环量均增大,升液管气含率降低;增加液相的进口速度,虽然上升段的液速有所增加,但是降液管循环液速及循环量基本不受影响。最后计算了反应器内液相速度随进口气速的变化情况,并与实际测量值进行了比较,模拟值和测氨值都表明随着进口气速的增加,液相循环速度随着进口气速的增加而增加．两者呈现良好的一致性。     

连续内环流三相反应器局部流动特性

在φ200 mm×2500 mm连续内环流三相反应器内,考察了空气 水 玻璃珠体系反应器内局部流动参数随操作条件的变化规律。结果表明,导流筒内截面平均气含率随表观气速的增大而增大,较之气液两相流,在低固含率时,加入固体对气含率影响不明显,而在较高固含率下,气含率有明显降低,但固体再增加时对气含率变化影响不大。在较低表观气速下,进料浆速对导流筒内气含率轴向分布趋势有一定的影响,但在较高表观气速下影响不大,导流筒内的气含率大于环隙内的气含率且随气速增大差别更加明显,浆相连续有利于气相分散并增大环隙内的气含率。导流筒内循环浆速径向分布呈抛物状,中心高、近壁处低,受进料浆速和入口固含率影响都不大。浆相循环强度最低为20,高可达180。固含率轴、径向分布受表观气速和进料浆速的影响,固含率轴、径向分布基本均匀,随进料浆速增加,反应器内固含率降低。

CFD Simulation of hold-up and liquid circulation velocity in a membrane airlift reactor

A two-dimensional model was used to consider circulation velocity and hold-up in a membrane bioreactor. Membranes were located and simulated (using computational fluid dynamics (CFD)) with three different distances of 5, 7 and 9 mm in an airlift reactor and compared with the results obtained from an airlift reactor without membrane. Gas hold-up in the riser decreased with increasing membrane layers distance. The liquid circulation velocity increased with increasing membrane layers distance. Further, liquid velocity increased bubble rising and decreased gas hold-up in the draft tube when membrane was not used in the draft tube. The simulated data were compared with the experimental data and good agreement was observed.

Gas holdup and bubble dynamics in a three-phase internal loop reactor with external slurry circulation

As modified three-phase fluidized reactors, loop reactors have been widely used in the area of chemical and energy processes. An external slurry circulation is introduced into a traditional internal loop reactor to improve the transfer between gas and slurry phases. Gas holdup and bubble dynamics are investigated by using the double-sensor conductivity probe technique in the present work. The results show that gas holdup inside the draft tube is greatly affected by the geometrical configuration and is much higher than that in the corresponding section of the annular region. Local, section-averaged, and overall gas holdups increase with increasing superficial gas velocity, while the effects of solid loading and external slurry circulation velocity are less significant than that of superficial gas velocity. Both local bubble size and bubble rise velocity vary significantly in different regions.

Dynamic gas disengagement: A new technique for assessing the behaviour of bubble columns

A precise measure of the liquid motion and distribution of bubble sizes is essential for designing gas-liquid reactors for complex reactions in which product distribution may be a function of bubble size. A theoretical approach is presented which shows how the interaction of bubble size distribution and bubble rise velocity functions leads to predictions of the overall steady state hold-up in a bubble column within which the liquid flow is understood. Since this approach is based on a physical understanding of how bubble flow at a given superficial velocity must relate to the static hold-up, the theory can be immediately extended to describe the disengagement of gas bubbles if the gas feed is cut off. Thus the dynamic gas hold-up during gas disengagement can be used to provide new insights into the fundamentals of bubble column behaviour. In this way it becomes possible in principle to inter-relate macroscopic properties such as surface area, gas phase residence time distribution and intensity of mixing in the liquid phase.A new experimental technique is described which measures the dynamic gas hold-up during gas disengagement Experimental results at a nominal 20 mm/s gas superficial velocity are compared with various approaches based upon the theory. The effects of the accompanying induced liquid movements are represented by a simplified core-annulus circulation model. Bubble size distributions and liquid circulation can then be related to both the static and dynamic hold-up behaviour. It is shown that ambiguity due to uncertainty about the relative differences in bubble size distribution in upflow and downflow regions can be resolved from a knowledge of the surface area.     

Behavior of gas bubbles in a concentric cylindrical airlift column

Using a light transmission optical probe, the effect of superficial gas velocity on bubble properties(bubble size, bubble rising velocity, bubble frequency and local gas holdup) at axial and radial positions was determined in the riser and the downcomer of a concentric cylindrical airlift reactor. The vertical bubble length, the bubble rising velocity and the bubble frequency at axis in the riser increased with increasing superficial gas velocity and the bed height. The radial distribution of the local gas holdup, vertical bubble length and bubble frequency in the riser and the downcomer were found to be non-uniform. The profiles of the local gas holdup, vertical bubble length and bubble rising velocity in the riser were shown as parabolic shapes. The local gas holdup, the vertical bubble length and the bubble frequency in the downcomer changed with superficial gas velocity and the distance from the top of the draft tube.
