Abstract

The mass transfer characteristics of various types of slotted plastic rings are presented. These packings can be used for absorption—desorption operations involving high superficial liquid velocities. The dynamic liquid holdup values were determined for the air—water system. The theory of gas absorption accompanied by a fast pseudo-first-order reaction was used to determine the values of the effective interfacial area a. The liquid side mass transfer coefficient k L a was determined by using the theory of gas absorption accompanied by a slow reaction. The a values are 110%–130% of the values for a Pall ring. The k L a values for modified Pall rings are 50% higher than those for conventional Pall rings. The values of the holdup and k L a were correlated with the superficial liquid velocity for each packing studied.
