Abstract
AbstractA new method has been developed for the measurement of overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient (KLa) in gas‐liquid‐solid systems. This method is based on the examination of gas phase dynamics in a three‐phase contactor and consists of measuring continuously the response of the outlet gas composition to a step input change of CO2 in the inlet gas stream. The advantages and limitations of the new method are presented and its sensitivity is discussed on the basis of model predictions. Preliminary results on the implementation of the CO2 method are also reported. Experimental data obtained in a nonviscous electrolyte solution show that the proposed method compares favorably with the conventional dissolved oxygen technique, provided that a correction is made to take account of the difference in diffusivity of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
