Abstract: | To determine the oxygen mass transfer in clean water in biofilters, a method based on the follow up of the oxygen fraction in the off gas during the oxidation of sulphite in excess has been evaluated and applied to a pilot-scale unit (250 L, superficial gas velocity from 0 to , superficial liquid velocity from 0 to ). Tests performed on a two-phase reactor showed that, without any cobalt addition, standard oxygen transfer efficiencies (SOTE) obtained from the proposed method are not statistically different from those issued from the standardised method. A relationship has been proposed to express SOTE values as a function of the conductivity, and the influence of the gas and liquid velocities on SOTE and kLa has been investigated. |
