Abstract

The influence of impellers and baffles on the mixing of gas-liquid floating particles in agitated vessels was investigated. Fifty-two kinds of impeller combinations and twelve types of baffle arrangements were used. The associated power, gas holdup and solids concentration at the vessel bottom were measured. It is concluded that the mixing characteristics of three-stage impellers were superior to those of two-stage impellers for aspect ratios larger than 1.6. The optimal combination of impellers and baffles was proposed. The correlations of the relative power and the gas holdup for the optimal combination of impellers under all types of baffles were obtained.
